Error 403: Forbidden Accessing a Web Service

Hi there,

I am trying to access a web service that is on an Axis Server. It also has a WS-Security UserNameToken for its methods, but that's all.

My problem is to generate the Proxy. Using WseWsdl3.exe, I get the following error message:

Error: Error while Downloading 'https://server.fqdn.name:8443/path/to/service?wsdl'.
- Error Requesting with HTTP-Status 403: Forbidden.

The problem is that this message occurs WITHOUT sending any TCP packages to Port 8443 on the server! Using Wireshark, there are absolutely no packages sent to the server. So the problem must occur before .NET accesses the TCP stack. Does anyone have an idea?

Thanks for any help.

Michael
