In an Episerver-project a call is made from a website on one server to an ASMX-webservice at another server. The user calling has all right set in IIS 7 to write, create and retrieve files from folders.

The 401-error I had was solved ([Link][1]) and now I get another error.

The following error-message appears when the webservice-call is made:

The webservice can be browsed on its webservice-URL [/WebServices/DataFactoryService.asmx ]

Try for solution:

I have given the user that is calling the web-service (dr-2\epi.admin) rights to execute the web service. [under the Admin-mode of Episerver; config; security]

Some of my current code in web.config:

    <episerver.basicAuthentication sendBasicChallenge="true" basicRealm="" />
    <system.web>
      <httpModules>
    <add
        name="BasicAuthentication"
        type="EPiServer.Security.BasicAuthentication, EPiServer" />
        
   </httpModules>
    
      <httpRuntime maxRequestLength="1000000" />
      <authorization>
        <allow roles="Administrators,WebServices,dr-2\epi.admin, epi.admin, Everyone" />
        <!-- <deny users="*" />-->
      </authorization>
    </system.web>
    <system.webServer>
    
        <modules runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests="true">
         <add name="BasicAuthentication" type="EPiServer.Security.BasicAuthentication, EPiServer" />
        </modules>

    <handlers>
        <clear />
        <add name="webresources" path="WebResource.axd" verb="GET" type="System.Web.Handlers.AssemblyResourceLoader" />
        <add name="WebServiceHandlerFactory-Integrated" path="*.asmx" verb="GET,HEAD,POST,DEBUG" type="System.Web.Services.Protocols.WebServiceHandlerFactory, System.Web.Services, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a" modules="ManagedPipelineHandler" scriptProcessor="" resourceType="Unspecified" requireAccess="Script" allowPathInfo="false" preCondition="integratedMode" responseBufferLimit="4194304" />
        <add name="wildcard" path="*" verb="*" type="EPiServer.Web.StaticFileHandler, EPiServer" />
      </handlers>
    </system.webServer>
