Hi,

I have a well working WCF Services. I grant access to it with a simple basicHttpBinding and a secure transport like this:

XML

<security mode="Transport" >
            <transport clientCredentialType="Basic"/>
          </security>

Now i try to access the Service with an Access 2003 Application but it doesn't work. The Microsoft Office 2003 Web Services Toolkit creates the proxy classes but when i try to invoke a method i allways become a timeout.

My second Problem is, that i don't know how to set the clientCredentials for the UserNamePasswordValidator in VB.

I have solved the problem with following settings:

VB

service.ConnectorProperty("AuthUser") = "user"
service.ConnectorProperty("AuthPassword") = "pss"
service.ConnectorProperty("WinHTTPAuthScheme") = &H1
service.ConnectorProperty("UseSSL") = True
