Metadata contains a reference that cannot be resolved:
HI,
I'm trying to use the Sample STS server on a Windows 2003 EE machine. The server runs fine on
http://sts.mycompany.com:7000/sample/trust/smartcard/sts
https://sts.mycompany.com:7001/sample/trust/smartcard/mex
etc...
but when trying to contact it I get the following error.
There was a failure making a WS-Trust exchange with an external application. The Identity provider end point was not found.
Inner Exception: Metadata contains a reference that cannot be resolved: 'https://sts.mycompany.com:7001/sample/trust/usernamepassword/mex'.
Inner Exception: The underlying connection was closed: An unexpected error occurred on a send.
Inner Exception: Authentication failed because the remote party has closed the transport stream.
I already run httpcfg to set the ssl certificate.
Any idea?
Thanks!
Claudio
It would look like you are trying to use a managed card for Username and password, but your STS urls would hint to me that you are trying to get a certificate based one working.
What are you trying to accomplish?
Hi,
thanks for the reply.
Actually I tried both with a cert-backed and with a UP-backed managed card. The STS server is listening for any kind of request:
Listener = http://sts.mycompany.com:7000/sample/trust/smartcard/sts, State = Opened
Listener = https://sts.mycompany.com:7001/sample/trust/smartcard/mex, State = Opened
Listener = http://sts.mycompany.com:7000/sample/trust/smartcard, State = Opened
Listener = http://sts.mycompany.com:7000/sample/trust/selfissuedsaml/sts, State =Opened
Listener = https://sts.mycompany.com:7001/sample/trust/selfissuedsaml/mex, State = Opened
Listener = http://sts.mycompany.com:7000/sample/trust/selfissuedsaml, State = Opened
Listener = http://sts.mycompany.com:7000/sample/trust/usernamepassword/sts, State= Opened
Listener = https://sts.mycompany.com:7001/sample/trust/usernamepassword/mex, State = Opened
Listener = http://sts.mycompany.com:7000/sample/trust/usernamepassword, State = OpenedWhen I try with a cert-backed I get an error message saying that no cert can be found, while when I try with a UP-backed card I get the error saying:There was a failure making a WS-Trust exchange with an external application. The Identity provider end point was not found.

I am getting the same problem and have followed all the solutions posted, httpcfg etc.... I'm simply trying to get the STS Sample working.
I can browse to the mex address and get a file download dialog which then fails. The event log is included below:
Any help would be greatly appreciated
