Our problem – Website returns HTTP status 401. We checked user account it is valid.
The related details are listed as follows:
With “Domain” is work in previous UAT environment. And now we can’t (we need to remove the “Domain” in “NetworkCreadential“ method).
With “Domain” is work in PDN environment.
“DefaultNetworkCredentials” or “DefaultCredentials” or "System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials" is doesn’t work in UAT environment (Throw Error: The request failed with HTTP status 401: Unauthorized).
I have tried restarting both IIS and the application pool but this does not help.
IIS Setting:
Anonymous Authentication is Enabled
Windows Authentication is Enabled
Authorization Rules is set up to Allow All Users
In the IIS log I can see the following:

Hi TKujala,
Someone told me, This “SharePoint 2013 - General Discussions and Questions” Forum will be migrating to a new home on Microsoft Q&A, please refer to this sticky post for more details.
Hi HungMelvinMC-3815,
Could you please more info regarding this issue? Can i know the goal and what about the background info? Which version SharePoint you're using? It would be appreciated if we can reproduce the issue.
Thanks
Baker Kong
Hi Baker,
When i calling SharePoint web service via .Net client program, and i got the error message "The request failed with HTTP status 401: Unauthorized."
The user should be Local Administrator and Site Collection Admin.
My Code sample (with Domain it is not working):
WebService_as2hkdiis11.Lists client = new WebService_as2hkdiis11.Lists();
client.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("xxxxxx", "xxxxx", "ASIA2");
client.Url = "http://as2hkdiis11/sites/Legal_and_Compl/_vti_bin/Lists.asmx";
SharePoint Version: 2013 (15.0.4631.1001)
Hi HungMelvinMC-3815,
I tested you code in a console app on my SP 2013, add .asmx to web reference. And initalize the client with below code:
WebService_as2hkdiis11.Lists client = new WebService_as2hkdiis11.Lists();
client.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("contoso\\Administrator", password);
client.Url = "http://site/_vti_bin/Lists.asmx";
Or
WebService_as2hkdiis11.Lists client = new WebService_as2hkdiis11.Lists();
client.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("Administrator", password,"contoso");
client.Url = "http://site/_vti_bin/Lists.asmx";
Both works well here. May i know what's the meaning of "with Domain it is not working (we need to remove the “Domain” in “NetworkCreadential“ method)"?
Best Regards,
Baker Kong
