ok - here's the exception I get:

System.Configuration.ConfigurationErrorsException was unhandled

Inner Exception is also a System.Configuration.ConfigurationErrorsException:

Hope this helps.

I got it all working!!!

I noticed a couple of things to make it really easy to work with the wizard,
and so that changes the wizard makes actually go into the web service site.

I don’t create an ASP web service from any project template in VS 2005.

I create a virtual dir on the web server that points to an empty directory
and allow execute permissions with a Low (IIS Process) Application Protection
setting. ( I will be depending on hardware SSL)

I then open up my solution that has NO web services in it.

I add the existing empty web site manually (not create a new web service)

I add a new asmx web service file, and web.config file, to the web site.

I set up a web method call and make sure my client is updated with that web
reference, and test it.

THEN I use the WSE 3.0 wizard to set up my custom Policy….
THEN I follow the code steps in the Hands on Lab for WSE3.0 Security:
(this meant I had to read something...

...If all else fails, read the instructions)

Hands-On Lab - HOL202 Introduction to WSE 3.0 Security

It all works. Yay!


I can wrap up my test client and web service for anyone who wants it.

R.

Hello,

I have the same the problem as described by you. I have a webserive
application and on it's code behind i wrote the custom security class for
WSE 3.0. I have added the reference to this webservice on the client side.I
have applied all the changes explained in the post. Still getting the same
issues. Any thought on this will help me.#

Cheers,
Vids
