I had the same error today  after deploying our service calling an external service to the staging environment in azure  Local the service called the external service without errors  but after deployment it didn t   In the end it turned out to be that the external service has a IP validation  The new environment in Azure has another IP and it was rejected   So if you ever get this error calling external services  It might be an IP restriction

I see this isn t answered yet  this is an exact quote from here      WSHttpBinding will try and perform an internal negotiate at the SSP layer   In order for this to be successful  you will need to allow anonymous in IIS for the VDir   WCF will then by default perfrom an SPNEGO for window credentials   Allowing anonymous at IIS layer is not allowing anyone in  it is deferring to the WCF stack    I found this via  http   fczaja blogspot com 2009 10 http-request-is-unauthorized-with html  After googling  http   www google tt  hl en amp source hp amp q  The HTTP request is unauthorized with client authentication scheme  27Anonymous

Just got this problem on a development machine  production works just fine   I modify my config in IIS to allow anonymous access and put my name and password as credential    Not the best way I am sure but it works for testing purposes

I didn t have control over the security configuration for the service I was calling into  but got the same error  I was able to fix my client as follows    In the config  set up the security mode    lt security mode  TransportCredentialOnly  gt     lt transport clientCredentialType  Windows  proxyCredentialType  None  realm      gt     lt message clientCredentialType  UserName  algorithmSuite  Default    gt   lt  security gt   In the code  set the proxy class to allow impersonation  I added a reference to a service called customer    Customer PortClient proxy   new Customer PortClient    proxy ClientCredentials Windows AllowedImpersonationLevel                System Security Principal TokenImpersonationLevel Impersonation

Here s what I had to do to get this working  This means    Custom UserNamePasswordValidator  no need for a Windows account  SQLServer or ActiveDirectory -- your UserNamePasswordValidator could have username  amp  password hardcoded  or read it from a text file  MySQL or whatever   https IIS7  net 4 0   My site is managed through DotNetPanel  It has 3 security options for virtual directories     Allow Anonymous Access  Enable Basic Authentication  Enable Integrated Windows Authentication   Only  Allow Anonymous Access  is needed  although  that  by itself wasn t enough    Setting  proxy ClientCredentials Windows AllowedImpersonationLevel    System Security Principal TokenImpersonationLevel Impersonation    Didn t make a difference in my case   However  using this binding worked          lt security mode  TransportWithMessageCredential  gt           lt transport clientCredentialType  Windows    gt           lt message clientCredentialType  UserName    gt         lt  security gt

Another possible solution to this error that I found  Might not have answered OP s exact question but may help others who stumble across this error message   I was creating my Client in code using WebHttpBinding  in order to replicate the following line    lt security mode  TransportCredentialOnly  gt     lt transport clientCredentialType  Windows  proxyCredentialType  Windows    gt   lt  security gt    I had to do   var binding   new WebHttpBinding WebHttpSecurityMode TransportCredentialOnly                   binding Security Transport ClientCredentialType   HttpClientCredentialType Windows                  binding Security Transport ProxyCredentialType   HttpProxyCredentialType Windows    as well as setting proxy ClientCredentials Windows AllowedImpersonationLevel    System Security Principal TokenImpersonationLevel Impersonation
