Webservice (HTTPS)

Hi, i'm new to web services and IIS. My web service is running well using HTTP (binding type, which I guess is the default). I can access it on my program and via web browser. Just now, I shift from HTTP to HTTPS and also select the SSL Certificate of our server, i tried to access it via web browser and I received this error

403 - Forbidden: Access is denied.
You do not have permission to view this directory or page using the credentials that you supplied.


Any idea? Let me know please if there's something that I need to change on the config.

Thanks

Are you using WebBrowser control on your form ? I don't quite understand your question, but I think It might be something wrong with the site. If you're not a PC administrator then Windows firewall might prevent to load this web page. Another thing I would do is to check If that specific site is trusted under Internet EXplorer>Internet Options>Security (again, If you're not administrator then GPO settings in Active Directory might prevent you something).

Did you change the CREDENTIALS that IIS uses to run the worker threads?

Can you locally browse to it by right-clicking the web server in IIS and browsing to it?

If you put the binding back to http and use port 80 does the page still work?

Hi, what i'm trying to say is that I was able to consume the web service using my vb.net program. I was also able to view the functions of my web service when I enter the URL on web browser.

Yes, I can locally locate the files. I can also see the files when I access the web service using URL via web browser.

Yes, it works fine with HTTP:80.



Anyway, it is working now. Before, i created a copy of the web service files, put it in a different folder and tried using HTTPS on it. Its not working and I deleted it.


Just now, I tried to modify the original web service i had (the HTTP), I just created a new binding using HTTPS and deleted the HTTP. And it works
