RE: WCF on 2 machines

Hi Salam,

For WCF security related configuration and schema, you can have a look at
the following articles:

#Windows Communication Foundation Configuration Schema
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms731734.aspx

#Security in Windows Communication Foundation
http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/06/08/SecurityBriefs/

Also, you can try disabling security in your sample to see whether it can
work correctly without security turned-on. Here is a web thread mentions
this:

Thanks for this response. Yes, it is getting started sample
..\TechnologySamples\Basic\GettingStarted\CS
and the Binding, basic HTTP
..\TechnologySamples\Basic\Binding\Basic\Http\CS.
Both of them has a claculator service. The first one runs in Nettcp
protocol, the 2nd the service is hosted in IIS as an svc service.

It is non-domain environment (workgroup), administrator account on all
machine has the same password, the credentials I use on my laptop is
created
on the server as well and he is in the administrator group as well in both
machines. I log to SQL 2005 using windows authentification with no problem.

According to doc, especially the 2nd example I am talking is configured
for
anonymous access if I amnot mistaken,

As I said, I access any resource from machine to servers and servers to my
machine.

2nd question, if I use config files for service and client, which tages
shoudl I use and where?

Thanks in advance

Hi Salam,

From your description, you're using the WCF built-in samples for test
and
found that some basic http samples can only work on single machine but
not
work in client-server remote mode, correct?

According to the error message you pasted, it seems there is something
about security verification that cause the error. Would you let me know
which basic sample you're using(or ever do some customize on it)? And
the
important point is what security setting has been used for the client
and
server side. And what's your client and server machine's
network/security
environment. Some binding channels by default use windows security may
need
client to forward security credential and in a non-domain environment,
there may raise some error as local account is not forwarded between
machine.

BTW, for WCF specific problems, you can post them in webservice
newsgroup
or the MSDN forum:
