Multiple Web Services and Credentials

[Kelly Elias]

I have two webservices. I would like the first one to call the second. But I
am getting a 401 access denied error returned from IIS.

The first web service does impersonation and it works correctly, when it
calls the second web service it doesn't pass any credentials so the web
server denies the request because the user is anonymous.

How can you build your web services so that they can call each other on an
IIS server that DOES NOT allow anonymous access?

What kind of authentication are you using on both the webservices?

Hello Kelly,

Before you call the second ws you need to pass the credentials to the
proxy. There is a method on the proxy that allows you to set the client credentials.
Also you should try setting impersonate true on the second one aswell
