ASP.NET Webservices: "The request failed with HTTP status 401: Access Denied." Error

<< Visual Studio 2005 Web Application Projects and Web Deployment Projects | Home | Getting the IE Webcontrols work in ASP.NET 2.0 while using Visual Studio 2005 >>

ASP.NET Webservices: "The request failed with HTTP status 401: Access Denied." Error

You may receive the error "The request failed with HTTP status 401: Access Denied." when trying to access a Webservice from your ASP.NET Application.

This normally indicates that Anonymous access has been disabled for the Webservice.

Also, when you try to step into the webservice using the Visual Studio debugger, "Unable to automatically step into the server. The remote procedure could not be debugged. This usually indicates that debugging has not been enabled on the server. See help for more information"
in this scenario.

We can resolve this issue by either of the following ways:

1. Enabling Anonymous Access in the IIS Directory Security

To do this, the following steps will help you.

1. Click "Start" - "Run" - Type "inetmgr" and press "Ok" or "Enter" Key

2. IIS Control panel opens.

3. Expand the appropriate nodes and navigate to the virtual directory of your Web Service Application.

4. Select the Virtual directory, Right Click and select "Properties"

5. Switch to the "Directory Security" Tab and then Click "Edit".

6. Check the "Anonymous Access" CheckBox.

7. Click "Ok" twice to exit.

This should solve the issue.

2. Programattically assigning the Credential Cache

In case you dont have access to change the IIS Settings or you just dont want to allow anonymous because other applications are using it, then you can programatically provide the permissions by specifying the credential cache.

Let us assume we have a Webservice, Service which has the default Web Method HelloWorld. Let us see the steps involved in accessing the service.

Service Service1 = new Service();
Service1.PreAuthenticate = true;
Service1.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
Response.Write(Service1.HelloWorld());

As you can see, we are passing the CredentialCache object for the Service1.

This would ensure that we preauthenticate the access to the Service. This would be applicable in the case of Integrated Windows Authentication scenarios.

Cheers and Happy Programming !!!

Hi Friends,

I am also felt this same problem and now its working fine. The Solution is

1. Click Start - Choose Run - Type "Inetmgr" and press Enter Key.
2. The IIS Control Panel window opens.
3. Select your virtual directory and right click - select "Properties"
4. Click the "Directory Security" tab and and click "Edit" Button.
5. Check the "Anonymous Access" Check box is enable or not.
6. If it is not enable click the check box and also click "Edit Button"
in that form.
7. Check the "Allow IIS to control Password" checkbox is enable or
not.
8. If it is also not enable click the check box.
9. Press "OK" button twice to exit.

This problem should be solve...

I do not create the proxy classes using the WSDL and VS IDE, I create all of them on fly. And then I try invoking the web-method using Reflection.
// ClassObj = dynamically compiled class from web-ref.
// This works in case i keep anonymous access ON, but I don't want to do that.
object objResult = objMethodInfo.Invoke(ClassObj, args);

Can you tell me how to aviod 401 in this case, or to pass credentials in my case?

Hi
I am new to asp.net. I am creating an intranet application which needs the windows loginname. I have unchecked the Anonymous login in inetmgr and in web.config, identity impersonate="true". I got the login name from System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent.Name. It worked fine in my localhost machine. But the problem is that when I am trying to access the site from another machine, it requests for windows login. Then I checked the Anonymous login in inetmgr. At that time the login was not there but the windows login user name is not getting properly. It is showing the anonymous access's username. How can I solve this problem? How can I get the windows login username while accessing the site from another machine?

Please help me..

Thanks in advance.

Ok, I fought with this for 3 days, but finally got it. Set the directory security to ASPNet, allow IIS to control the password. Then go to the ASP.NET tab, click Edit Configuration and go to the Authentication tab. At the bottom check the Role Management Enabled and select ASPNetSQLProvider from the Role Provider Class. That fixed it for me.

Hi, Thanks for you answer. can you give an example for connecting using Syste.Net.NetworkCredential instead of using DefaultCredentials.

Thanks a lot,
Setting Default credentials and enabling ASPNET roles in ASPNET tab worked for me.

It was useful. For me works the following:
Annonimous access [Checked]
Username: ASPNET user
Allow IIS to control Password [Checked]
Integrated Windows Authentication [Disabled)
Thanks!!

I am new to asp.net. I am creating an intranet application which needs the windows loginname. I got the login name from System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultNetworkCredentials. It worked fine in my localhost machine. But the problem is that when I am trying to access the site from Development server it is showing the error "The request failed with HTTP status 401: Access Denied" but the same code is working fine in Test Site. i am using windows Integrated authentication and Anonymous access disabled...Please help me to figure out this issue...
