I have a WCF Service that I have boiled down to next to nothing because of this error. It is driving me up the wall. Here's what I have now.
A very
simple WCF service with one method that returns a string with the value, "test".
A very
simple Web app that uses the service and puts the value of the string into a label.
A web server running IIS 6 on Win 2003 with a SSL certificate.
Other WCF services on the same server that work.
I publish the WCF service to it's https location
I run the web app in debug mode in VS and it works perfectly.
I publish the web app to it's https location on the same server the WCF service resides under the same SSL certificate
I get, "The remote server returned an error: (403) Forbidden"
I have changed almost every setting in IIS as well as the WCF and Web apps to no avail. I have compared setting in the WCF services that work and everything is the same.
Below are the setting in the web.config for the WCF Service and the WEB app:
It appears the problem has to do with the Web app but I am out of ideas. Any ideas:
