I am using Visual Studio 2008 (VB) and I am writing a fairly simple N-tier service based application. Data AccessTier (Sql Server) DataEntityTier (Client and server) DataServiceTier (IIS) PresentationTier (test=Vista) I have referenced the topic: Hosting a WCF web service on DiscountASP servers but still have a problem. Outward signs are that service is operational, but I seem to have some sort ofAuthentication / token issue. All of the projects are signed, and both the Service and Presentation projects include a "Signed once manifest". I am truly at a loss. I don't know what the problem is with this and I've been working on it for 2 days trying various opions but have not been able to sove the challenge. This is my first application using asp.net and WCF so I KNOW I am missing something. It may be ossible that I have to override something on the server to make this work??? Any help you can provide would be truly welcome.
