Martin Bring's questions

I have two web services, of old school, asmx. Both is in the same sub folder, which have anonymous authentication, in a MVC web application that have windows authentication.

When I browse one of them I get expected result, I can Invoke the service, but when I browse the other I get "HTTP Error 401.2 - Unauthorized You are not authorized to view this page due to invalid authentication headers.".

I then rename the second one and everything works fine. Even if I remove the second asmx file I get Unauthorized, instead of "Resource not found".

I have searched the registry and the file system for references to the file name, but find nothing. I deleted ASP.NET Temporary Files, but that did not help.

Any trouble shooting suggestions?

I am trying to test recovery from a disaster, but feel the SSO part is like a Catch 22 situation. I cannot get it to work.

We have a DB cluster where SSO is also a clustered service, just like the documentation recommends.

I want to be able to recover from a DB/SSO cluster disaster. So the we have a third DB server for log shipping. On that server we also have a “waiting” SSO service to take over as Master. That SSO has joined the current one, but is not Master.

The problem is to make that server the backup server SSO Master.

We cannot run ssomanage -updatedb NewServer.xml if the old DB is down. We cannot ssoconfig -restoresecret secret.bak, since it is not the Master.

Has anyone done this and got it to work?
