Problems with WSS Security Settings

I receive an "access denied" message when attempting to consume a local Web service with .NET WebService Studio.

The SoapClient30 object that clsws_ServiceName creates for each Web method automatically uses your Windows logon credentials when invoking a Web method, but WSS doesn't. The most likely cause of "access denied" errors when invoking a service, is failure to set the AllowAutoRedirect, KeepAlive, and UseDefaultCredential properties to True on the Request/Response page.

If setting the preceding property values doesn't work, you probably have a problem with your server login. You must be logged on to your computer as the local Administrator or a member of the BUILTIN\Administrators account for the Web service to gain access to the database.
