Check your web.config and AdestWebDataService.config files and ensure there load balancer and endpoint addresses are set correctly.




If you are sure that there above are configured correctly then it maybe an issue with the Authentication Mode (set in IIS), there are two steps to follow:

Open the web.config and ensure the Authentication Scheme is set to Anonymous:

<bindings>

<customBinding>

<binding name="AdestCustomBinding">

<binaryMessageEncoding />

<httpTransport maxBufferPoolSize="2147483647" maxReceivedMessageSize="2147483647" allowCookies="false" bypassProxyOnLocal="false" hostNameComparisonMode="StrongWildcard" maxBufferSize="2147483647" transferMode="Buffered" useDefaultWebProxy="true" authenticationScheme="Anonymous" />

</binding>

<binding name="CustomBinding_IAdestWebDataService">

<binaryMessageEncoding maxReadPoolSize="64" maxWritePoolSize="16" maxSessionSize="2048">

<readerQuotas maxDepth="32" maxStringContentLength="2147483647" maxArrayLength="2147483647" maxBytesPerRead="4096" maxNameTableCharCount="16384" />

</binaryMessageEncoding>

<httpTransport manualAddressing="false" maxBufferPoolSize="524288" maxReceivedMessageSize="2147483647" allowCookies="false" authenticationScheme="Anonymous" bypassProxyOnLocal="false" hostNameComparisonMode="StrongWildcard" keepAliveEnabled="true" maxBufferSize="2147483647" proxyAuthenticationScheme="Anonymous" realm="" transferMode="Buffered" unsafeConnectionNtlmAuthentication="false" useDefaultWebProxy="true" />
