Hi, I downloaded the IdentityTrainingKit and is trying out the example in Labs\IntroAccessControlService. When I try the Webservice Example, I get the error below when i try to updat the service refernce

"There was an error downloading 'https://localhost/WeatherServiceEx03/Service.svc'.
Unable to connect to the remote server
No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it 127.0.0.1:443
Metadata contains a reference that cannot be resloved:
'https://localhost/WeatherServiceEx03/Service.svc'.
Could not connect to https://localhost/WeatherServiceEx03/Service.svc. TCP error code 10061: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it 127.0.0.1:443,
Unable to connect to remote server

When i try to run the project directly then i get the error "Cannot load the X.509 certificate identity specified in the configuration."

Hi There,

I faced your problem in pocket pc mobile 5. Unable to connect to the remote server.

Your Solution can be:

- On your pocket pc goto Start/Settings/Connections/Choose Advanced Tab/Select Networks. Make sure that programs that automatically connect to a private network is correct. (try MY ISP)

- Check your Firewall or antivirus on the server can refuse your connection.

- Third possible solution can be when you try to configure your iis. (Right Click Default Website Properties leave the IP Address to All Unassigned. In order not the block an ip while connecting to the server.

I faced your same problem and solved it this way.

Hope it helps
