Re: Quick Start certificate

When I go to the policy tab and select the config file for the web servcie in
the wse settings I get the error

The Policy file specified and the current project directory should be the
same as the root path.

Will this cause an issue? Where do I specify what the root path is.



I checked and security is set for the NETWROK SERVICE and allow test root is
checked.

I have enabled diagnostics on the client and the web service.

Yes you can install the quickstart cert on the web server for testing.

There are a few things that can go wrong and I can't tell from your
description, so let me do some quick checks.

1) Did you check the "allow test root" option on the security page for the
wse configuration of the client and service app?

2) Did you give your web server identity (NETWORK SERVICE) permission to
read the certificate on the server? I think the how to on that is in the wse
documentation. It's done through the certificate tool that's installed with
wse.

3) can you turn on the tracing on the client app and tell the web service
to return detailed information about any faults? then the clients traceinput
file should have the info. Alternatively, you can turn on tracing on the web
service and inspect those files for the real error messages. Most likely the
problem is on the server and the server is returning an error. But the
client is expecting a soap message in response but instead is getting an
error thrown by the web server. So when you see "invalid soap message"
that's just the client saying "hey, I can't make heads or tails of this
response".

I'll keep an eye out for your results..

I have written a simple WEB servcie that I call from a VB app using .net2
and
WSE3

The app works perfect with the quickstart certificate I generated by
running
setup in the samples on my workstation. I have the WEb service running
in
IE on my xp pro workstation and exported the certificate and restored it
on
another xp computer and a windows 2003 server. the client program works
perfectly on the windows 2003 and xp computers.

Is there a way to install the quiclstart certificate on the WEB server so
that I can run the WEB service on the WEB server with the quickstart
certificate. This server is strictly set up for testing so I do not want
to
have to purchase a real certificate for it.

I deleted the client certificate and ran the setup in samples which did
create the certificates on the WEB server. I then exported the new
certificate and imported it to my work station as the client certificate.
Unfortunately when I try to access the WEB service from my work station I
get
an error saying that the soap message is invalid. I even tried running
the
client app on the web server and it would not work.
