Hi i have implemented WCF Rest services and want to authenticate the user for every request. So i have added Basic Authenticarion+SSL certificate. But i want to check whether it is working or not. For every request it is saying like below

VB

HTTP Error 401.1 - Unauthorized

You do not have permission to view this directory or page using the credentials that you supplied.

I gave the request with base64 authenticated in headers with some invalid username and password and also i passed my system username and password also but same error is shown. please help me from this.

The configuration and client code seems to be ok.
have you enabled basic authentication only in the IIS If the service also allows anonymous access, sometimes that's the prefered login method used by the client applications, the credentials are not sent at all.
