HTTP request was forbidden with client authentication scheme 'Anonymous' when trying to save page
I edited a page in my CMS and when I tried to save I received the following message:
The HTTP request was forbidden with client authentication scheme 'Anonymous'.
Anyone know how to resolve this? Appears to be an authentication issue with one of the WCF web services but I don't know how to fix it.
Happens on any page I edit and try to save.
I'm running SF 5.1.Could really use some help on this.
Hello,
Check if in IIS settings for the site you have enabled the option for AnonymousAuthentcation and all other authentication optiosn are disabled. This depends on the authentication your site is using, by default the authentication is Claims Authentication (the authentication type can be checked in Administration->Settings->User Authentication), here is the documentation for the IIS setup:
Perform one of the following:
I just finished struggling with this exact same error for the better part of two days. In my case, it was on a test server that was IP restricted to my workstation's outgoing IP via the IP Address and Domain Restrictions feature in IIS.
Turns out that when you try to Publish, Save, Delete, or probably several other workflow-type of operations, at least one request is made to the site FROM ITS OWN IP. Check your server logs, and you'll see something like this after a Publish attempt:
2013-03-26 18:55:32 [site's IP] POST /DefaultWorkflows/PagesApprovalWorkflow.xamlx - 80 - [site's IP] - 403 6 5 0
Note I've manually replaced the actual IP with [site's IP] for privacy reasons.
So, the solution is to add the site's own IP address to the list of allowed IPs. As soon as I did this, bam, everything worked again.
Hello,
I'm encountering the same problem on a website running SF5.1
I'm getting the "The HTTP request was forbidden with client authentication scheme 'Anonymous'" message on any page or blog articles I try to edit or create.
This website is up since 3 months and was running properly until yesterday.
We've setup a test website on the same machine and the same IIS configuration which works perfectly.
Do you have other ideas of the cause ?
thanks

Hello,
If the site have been working if you know the what what the latest changes to the server settings have been it will be best in narrowing down the cause of the problem.
I think the most common cause is the IIS setting
Thank you Kevin. You pointed me in the right direction to fix a broken firewall rule on our side that resulted in this error.
Glad I could help someone else with this issue. Revisiting the thread reminds me of how frustrating it was.

Hello all,
@Mansoor
I have replied to this issue in the support ticket. I am posting the response from there:
"Reasons for the occurance of this exception as well as troubleshooting suggestions have been discussed in detail in this forum thread. Please go through it and try the solutions suggested there.
Additionally, there are scenarios where your FireWall may be blocking the requests so I can recommend you turn it off and see if the behavior reproduces. Also try turning off the IIS IP Address and Domain Restrictions if there are any."
