I have created a web application that has a wcf service included.

I also created a winform app that connected to the service.
I was able to connect to the service fine and execute my web method.
I wanted to deny anonymous access to the folder where the service was located so I added a web.config file to the target with the following.

XML
<configuration>
    <system.web>
        <authorization>
            <deny users="?" />
        </authorization>
    </system.web>
</configuration>


I also changed the directive in the .svc to:

VB
<%@ ServiceHost
  Language="VB"
  Service="System.Web.ApplicationServices.AuthenticationService"
  Factory="System.Web.ApplicationServices.ApplicationServicesHostFactory" %>


I made the recommended changes to the base web.config in my web application

here is the entire service model and web.extension sections(I think these are the important ones for this issue:

XML
<system.web.extensions>
  <scripting>
    <webServices>
      <authenticationService enabled="true"/>
      <!--requireSSL = "true"/>-->
    </webServices>
  </scripting>
</system.web.extensions>


XML
<system.serviceModel>
  <services>
    <service name="System.Web.ApplicationServices.AuthenticationService"
        behaviorConfiguration="AuthenticationServiceTypeBehaviors">
      <endpoint contract=
      "System.Web.ApplicationServices.AuthenticationService"
        binding="basicHttpBinding"
        bindingConfiguration="userHttps"
        bindingNamespace="http://asp.net/ApplicationServices/v200"/>
    </service>
  </services>
  <bindings>
    <basicHttpBinding>
      <binding name="userHttps">
        <security mode="Transport" />
      </binding>
    </basicHttpBinding>
  </bindings>
  <behaviors>
    <serviceBehaviors>
      <behavior name="">
        <serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true" httpsGetEnabled="true" />
        <serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="false" />
      </behavior>
      <behavior name="AuthenticationServiceTypeBehaviors">
        <serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true"/>
      </behavior>
    </serviceBehaviors>
  </behaviors>
  <serviceHostingEnvironment aspNetCompatibilityEnabled="true"
    multipleSiteBindingsEnabled="true" />
</system.serviceModel>


In my winforms application I run the following code and get and get an error

VB
Dim w As New System.Web.ApplicationServices.AuthenticationService()
w.Login("MyUser", "MyPass", "", True)


The error:

AuthenticationService is disabled.

Stack Trace:
