Hi Carlos,

I have a REST based service returning JSON data using VS 2010. I am using WebHttpbinding, security mode of "TransportCredentialOnly" with clientCredentialType as Basic. In the Servicebehavior, I am using usernameAuth with customUserNamePasswordValidatorType set to use a customer username n pwd validator and userNamePasswordValidationMode="Custom". This is hosted on console app and when i try to navigate to the url, I get a credential pop up asking for a username and password which ties back to the routine I have written in the "customUserNamePasswordValidatorType " above. All this is good.

The problem occurs when I host this on my local web server (IIS 7.5) instead of the console app.Using the same config, I get this error below. Note that for hosting on IIS and using REST , I am using System.web.routing to add a serviceroute using the webservicehostfactory (NOT using the .svc approach). Am I missing something here? I tried setting the IIS Authentication for the website to Anonymous which gives the error below. IF I set it to "Basic" I get the pop up for credentials but it does not tie back toe the routine I wrote above. Please let me know.

The authentication schemes configured on the host ('Ntlm, Anonymous') do not allow those configured on the binding 'WebHttpBinding' ('Basic'). Please ensure that the SecurityMode is set to Transport or TransportCredentialOnly. Additionally, this may be resolved by changing the authentication schemes for this application through the IIS management tool, through the ServiceHost.Authentication.AuthenticationSchemes property, in the application configuration file at the <serviceAuthenticationManager> element, by updating the ClientCredentialType property on the binding, or by adjusting the AuthenticationScheme property on the HttpTransportBindingElement.
