"The request failed with HTTP status 401: Unauthorized." WCF

Question

 Hi

I create a classic silverlight application (sampleSMS )

Add a wcf service Service1.svc (Silverlight-enabled WCF service) to the ASP.NET project(sampleSMS.Web )
This wcf service contains a web reference that allow to send sms in my cie.
(http://ilapp3/newsmsmessaging/smsmessage.asmx)

In the Silverlight application (sampleSMS ) I add Service1.svc as a service reference.

When the reference is as following all is working perfect
http://localhost:4525/Service1.svc
(my Web site is then configured as Use Visual Studio Development Server )

But when I reference it as following
http://laptop123/sampleSMS .Web /Service1.svc
(my Web site is then configured as Use Local IIS Web Server )
I also allow Anonymous access and enable Integrated Windows Authentication

I obtain this error

"The request failed with HTTP status 401: Unauthorized."

Any suggestions will be very appreciate....

You need a clientaccess policy file at the root of  http://laptop123 so that you can access it on http://laptop123/clientaccesspolicy.xml.

Thanks a lot for your prompt response.

I try what you said  and the thread but the problem persists.

I copy file clientaccesspolicy.xml  on my web root D:\sts\caBuild\caBuild.Web

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<access-policy>
  <cross-domain-access>
    <policy>
      <allow-from http-request-headers="*">
        <domain uri="*"/>
      </allow-from>
      <grant-to>
        <resource path="/" include-subpaths="true"/>
      </grant-to>
    </policy>
  </cross-domain-access>
</access-policy>

I modify my code as following

ServiceReference1.Service1Client client;

System.ServiceModel.BasicHttpBinding binding = new System.ServiceModel.BasicHttpBinding();
System.ServiceModel.EndpointAddress address = new System.ServiceModel.EndpointAddress(new Uri(Application.Current.Host.Source, "../Service1.svc"));
client = new Service1Client(binding, address);

or

Uri address = new Uri(Application.Current.Host.Source, "../Service1.svc");
client = new Service1Client("BasicHttpBinding_Service1", address.AbsoluteUri);
 

without success

 any idea ?

Please check two things:

1.access http://laptop123/clientaccesspolicy.xml from your browser, if you can't get the xml, it means that clientaccesspolicy.xml is not in the right place.

2.set breakpoint at this line

client = new Service1Client(binding, address);

get the address uri string, and access from your browser, if return 404 error, then the address uri is not correct.
