I have hosted a WCF service in my local machine(XP SP3) lets name as PushService, I am consuming this service in PushServiceClient. When I keep PushService project in running mode and try to push data from PushServiceClient I am able to Push the Data(DB is in another machine). When I stop PushService project in VS 2010 and Consume PushService hosted through IIS then I am not able to Push the Data.I am facing Authentication error during connect to DB. I am not getting where its going wrong.
IIS Version: 5.0
Permission in IIS : Anonymous Acess
Binding: WSHttpBinding(Tried Basic http also)
Security mode: None
Thanks in advance,

Does IIS worker process have permission for database access? Impersonating the host would solve your problem.
This is due to lack of Permisswion to acess the DB, If using IIS 5.1 then in coding set it to take Default credentials if its in IIS 6.0 (Windows server 2003) set it to take local Identity in IIS AppPool. I will get back with full details on it.
Thanks Guys for your reply.

In this question: ASP.NET web application unable to connect to WCF hosted as windows service
it's stated that the reason IIS could not talk to a WCF service hosted on a different machine is due to rights not assigned the app pool identity.
I'm facing the same problem I believe. What are these rights, and where do I set them?
Thanks.
This depends on the configuration of the service you're trying to access. However, if you're having trouble connecting to a different machine, you most likely don't have rights to access that computer using the machine account for the server hosting IIS. You could try adding [domain][iismachine] access to the target server (the one hosting the WCF service).
This overview has some pretty good information on what needs to be done in different scenarios.
Just finish to develop my WCF service.
I have machine on my network that have windows server 2008 - and i want to run my wcf web service on this machine.
What files i need to copy from my project developing folder to the server machine ?
What i need to configur on the server machine ( IIS ) to have the ability to connect to the service from the client that run in the same network ?
Please see here
I don't think there are any changes in IIS 7.5 that would prevent you from following those steps.
I have developed a WCF Data service using VS 2010, I am able to run it and get the data as feed by running using VS 2010.
I published the service on IIS 5.1 but I m getting http: 404 error.
Can anyone help to deploy the service on IIS 5.1 step by step?
I found a bit on it here.
I am having a very basic problem with creating WCF. So here is what i did
Created an ASP.NET web site project in VS2008.
Created a WCF service application in the same solution. Added a new WCF service "WCFService1.svc" into this project.
3,. Changed the setting of the Web server from "Use Visual Studio Development Server" to "Use IIS local web server".
Clicked add "Service Reference" in ASP.net web site project and clicked discover to see the "WCFService1" service. Now when I try to add Service Reference, I get an error all the time saying "Security settings for this service require 'Anonymous' Authentication but it is not enabled for the IIS application that hosts this service."
But if I revert back to the "Use Visual Studio Development SErver" setting, things run fine.
Please tell me what is going on here. This is driving me nuts! Eventually the project needs to be deployed in IIS to I am surprised if no-one else cam across this problem.
The VS development server uses Anonymous Authentication by default. If you change the authentication in the Options of the virtual directory it would work.
Here I found some links that might help you.
I am trying to host a WCF service in IIS 6.0 on server 2003. And when I
browse to the server I get the following error.
SecurityException: Request for the permission of type
'System.Net.DnsPermission
Is this related to the permissions granted to the user account the app
pool is running under or some other problem, and how do I fix this.
This might be related to the settings for local Intranet. I am assuming that you are browsing from your PC to the server. Try this:
Connect to the server via Remote desktop (or just use the server console), then browse the service and see if you get the same error.
If you do not get an error:
On your PC add the address of the server to local intranett, then try and browse the service again.
Good luck

To answer the replies.
Yes that was the entire error message Terry. It didn't appear to be a WCF issue but a security configuration problem on the web server that wasn't allowing DNS Permission as required by WCF.
The problem was resolved by uninstalling SharePoint services on that server where the WCF service was being hosted. Not sure still, why SharePoint would change the security permissions.
