Question

Folks,

I have an asmx web sevice being hotes in IIS 7 with only basic authentication enabled.

I am trying to test the basic authentication on my local machine before dealing with the SSL.

When testing using the following code…

        [TestMethod]
    public void TestMethod1()
    {
        MyCompanyExternalService.CClaim claim = new MyCompanyExternalService.CClaim();
        claim.Airline = "AA";
        claim.OrigCty = "MCO";
        claim.PaxFN = "John";
        claim.PaxLN = "Smith";
        claim.FileRef = "DL123321";
        claim.OrigDate = Convert.ToDateTime("1/1/2001");
        claim.ClaimFor = MyCompanyExternalService.EReasonsForClaim.Pilferage;
        claim.AirlineClaimStatus = "Open";


        MyCompanyExternalService.wsMyCompanyImportSoapClient MyCompanyImportSoapClient 
            = new MyCompanyExternalService.wsMyCompanyImportSoapClient("wsMyCompanyImportSoap");
        MyCompanyImportSoapClient.ClientCredentials.UserName.UserName = "My-PC\\chron";
        MyCompanyImportSoapClient.ClientCredentials.UserName.Password = "********";
        Assert.IsTrue(MyCompanyImportSoapClient.SubmitClaim(claim));
    }

.. I receive the following error:

The HTTP request is unauthorized with
client authentication scheme ‘Basic’.
The authentication header received
from the server was ‘Basic
realm=”localhost”‘.

innerexception: The remote server
returned an error: (401) Unauthorized.

Here is my app.config

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
    <system.serviceModel>
        <bindings>
            <basicHttpBinding>

                    <security mode="TransportCredentialOnly">
                        <transport clientCredentialType="Basic" realm="" />
                    </security>
                </binding>
            </basicHttpBinding>
        </bindings>
        <client>
            <endpoint address="http://localhost/MyCompany/MyCompanyWebServiceApp/wsMyCompanyImport.asmx"
                binding="basicHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="wsMyCompanyImportSoap"
                contract="MyCompanyExternalService.wsMyCompanyImportSoap"
                name="wsMyCompanyImportSoap" />
        </client>
    </system.serviceModel>
</configuration>

Can anyone spot my problem?
