Calling web service from asp.net page fails

[Jon]

Hi all,

I'm trying to call a web service from an asp.net (v1.1) page written in C#
(the web service was written in C# too) and I keep getting a "The request
failed with HTTP status 401: Unauthorized. " error message. Calling the web
service works fine when I create a windows form application to call it. The
IIS is on a win2003 server and it is configured to use "Integrated
Authentication".

The IIS logs do not show a userid from the asp.net call to the webservice,
they do show a userid from the windows form app. I suspect that this is the
issue.

The first portion of the stack trace is
"System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapHttpClientProto col.ReadResponse(SoapClientMessage
message, WebResponse response, Stream responseStream, Boolean asyncCall) at
System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapHttpClientProtoc ol.Invoke(String
methodName, Object[] parameters)" ... the rest is the lines within my .net
application.

I have added CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials() and then tried it. I have
also tried supplying user/pwd/domain with the same error results.

Does anybody have any ideas as to what may be causing this and how to
resolved it? Any ideas on what parameters to use/fill that I am not?

The relevant part of my code is:

mxService mxAs = new mxService();
mxAs.Url = _webServer + _serviceUrl;
CredentialCache crCache = new CredentialCache();
NetworkCredential netCr = new NetworkCredential();
netCr.Domain = "ourDomain";
netCr.UserName = "user1";
netCr.Password = "123";

crCache.Add(new Uri(mxAs.Url), "Negotiate", netCr );
mxAs.Credentials = crCache;
string listings = mxAs.getListings("News","Approved"); // 401 - Not
Authorized here...

Thanks & regards
Jon

I wonder if it's the aspnet account which is trying to make the call and
that's why it's failing? Just a guess...

Thank's Paul,

The server that is hosting the web service is using "Windows"
authentication and when I added in "Basic" authentication it works
fine. What I am wondering is if this is a case of to many 'hops' or a
quick pass through of the firewall rules within our network. I will
now need to discuss this with our network people to determine if this
is an acceptable way to go.

Thanks & regards
Jon
