The caller was not authenticated by the service."

Khan Abrar Ahmed

HI ALL,
I have WCF services and web application, my issue is I am getting this error when i called the service from application.

"Message="The caller was not authenticated by the service."
Source="mscorlib"
StackTrace:
Server stack trace:
at System.ServiceModel.Security.IssuanceTokenProviderBase`1.DoNegotiation(TimeSpan timeout)"

WCF service hosted on same domain and it is working fine. I hosted same web application on another machine there it is working.

Please let me know what confiuration I need to change on the machin.

Thanks.

Hi

Are the client and service on the same domain?

Also turn on WCF trace on the server to check any internal errors.

User cannot be authenticated means :the client and the server are not on the same windows domain.
