Hi Guys,

I need a little help, i have read the chapter on remoting and thought i would give it a go before we go down to far in the development. I have setup a website and published the dlls etc to the website, app.config and web.config are all setup.

In the app.config security is set to csla, when i run the application i get an error of The remote server returned an error: (403) Forbidden. How should i setup the security on the IIS server to work with csla security??

Thanks, Tim.

I think IIS has to be configured for anonymous access.

CHeers for that quick response, i have just checked that and it is set to anonumous access.

Thanks, Tim.

Check file permissions too... also, what happens if you try to browse locally to the remoting url to see if there's another error going on.

I think you'll need to remove that setting.

ok getting there, think i have nearly got the remoting complete, have followed all the instructions and now hopefully this should be the last error,

System.Runtime.Remoting.RemotingException: Requested Service not found

have checked the names and everything should be fine.

Hmm... did you get the casing right in the config file? Do you have any other details from that exception?
