Authentication failed on the remote side (the stream might still be available for additional authentication attempts).

Question

Hi All,

I am getting the following error.

Authentication failed on the remote side (the stream might still be available for additional authentication attempts).

Can any one suggest me, what I am supposed to do in order to resolve the issue. I get this issue, when my client connects to the service installed in another system.

I have tried to set the Security Mode as None, still it gives me the same error message.

Here is the configuration file of client system.

<?xml version="1.0"?>

                </identity>
            </endpoint>
        </client>
    </system.serviceModel>
</configuration>

Plz help me where I am going wrong.

This is my server configuration file.

This works fine when I host the service in my system, if I host the service in a different system, then only I am getting the problems.

If I'm not mistaking in your server config file : 

The server states :

<security mode="None"/>

The client connects using Windows authentication. This is not really correct. You should match client & server binding configurations.

Hi Illeris,

I have changed the client configuration security mode to "none", still it is of no use.

If I host the WCF Service on my system, it is not giving me any issues. If I host the same service on a different machine.. then I am getting the issue.

Is the IIS configuration of the web app on the other machine in line with your WCF security configuration? 

Answer 6

User1666665689 posted

I am hosting the service as a Windows Service. So, I don't think so, we need to do any changes to the IIS.

My issue got resolved... We need to scale the ReaderQuotas in App.config of Client in order to avoid the issue.

<readerQuotas maxDepth="64" maxStringContentLength="2147483647" maxArrayLength="2147483647"
            maxBytesPerRead="8192" maxNameTableCharCount="2147483647" />

Updating this has resolved my issue.
