Master Data Services Web Services Connection Error

Question

When trying to add the MDS web service as a web reference using the URL:

I have verified that all of the appropriate roles are installed on the server and the MDS web application is working just fine.

The web.config file also has httpGetEnabled="true":

<serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true" httpsGetEnabled="false" />

Can you please help identify what I may be missing?

Thanks

Jeff

Answer 2

Sorry Kumar it doesn't look like the image I posted into the beginning of this thread was retained.  I'd like to know how to resolve this error when trying to connect to the MDS web service using http://<mds server>/mds/Service/Service.svc:

WebHost failed to process a request.

Sender Information:
System.ServiceModel.Activation.HostedHttpRequestAsyncResult/25333130

Exception:
System.ServiceModel.ServiceActivationException: The service
'/MDS/service/service.svc' cannot be activated due to an exception during
compilation.  The exception message is: Security settings for this service
require 'Anonymous' Authentication but it is not enabled for the IIS
application that hosts this service.. ---> System.NotSupportedException:
Security settings for this service require 'Anonymous' Authentication but it is
not enabled for the IIS application that hosts this service.

Can you help me resolve this error?

Let me know if you need any additional information.

Thanks

Jeff

Hey Jeff,

1.Are you using SSL?

2.Is your web.config having same key

<security mode="Message">
      <message clientCredentialType="Windows" />
     </security>

3.Did you change binding or web.config for any reason ?

Alternatively you can enable Anonymous access in IIS and in your web.config you make sure anonymous access is denied.
