WebServiceHostFactory and IIS authentication

Question

I encounter a problem with using the WebServiceHostFactory in IIS.

\"IIS specified authentication schemes \'IntegratedWindowsAuthentication, Anonymous\', but the binding

Answer 1

I'm not sure about the WebServiceHostFactory, but it sounds like you're hosting the service inside IIS and it's got more than one authentication method selected. If you've got IIS 5 or 6, try going into IIS and viewing the properties for the website or virtual directory containing your service. Go to the Directory Security tab, click the Edit button under "Anonymous access and authentication control", and then un-tick either "Anonymous access" or "Integrated Windows authentication". I'm not sure about IIS7.
