IIS Media Services 4.1: I have a dedicated website setup on my win 7

  • 0

IIS Media Services 4.1:

I have a dedicated website setup on my win 7 dev box. I’m testing the REST service with Windows Auth turned on from both calls from a browser as well as a test C# winform app. Using the browser I try to hit http://iismediatestsite/services/smoothstreaming/publishingpoints.isml I get challeneged (good) but when I put in my domain creds I get into a loop where it keeps prompting for creds. My domain account is an admin on this box. If I use my test app I set UseDefaultCredentials to true but I get a 401 returned.

Using Basic Auth works fine with both clients.

Any ideas?

TIA

    Okay apparently this is caused by an issue when authenticating by NTLM via a loopback address. It is better explained and a workaround provided here:
