I am trying to set up the mobile access to deadline and am getting the following error when I start pulse. I am not sure exactly what it means or how to fix it. Any hints? Google doesn’t seem to be any help because we are not running a domain on our LAN. (just a simple workgroup)
Web Service - Warning. Web Service could not connect. This will not affect normal operation.
Web Service - Error Message: Access is denied
Web Service - Error Code: 5
Web Service - The web service could not connect because access was denied by the system. This is because the application was not able to reserve namespaces for the URL connection. To enable the web service you must get an administrator to add a namespace reservation for the current user.
Running on server 2008 r2
Thanks,
Rhys.
Hi,
All the info you need to get the namespace reservation working can be found on these two pages:
thinkboxsoftware.com/deadlin … ebservice/
msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms733768.aspx
Have you tried replacing the domain\user with workgroup\user?
Hi Mike,
I ran the following command:
netsh http add urlacl url=http://203.xx.xx.xx:8080/ user=xxxx
(X’s replaced with appropriate IP/username)
This appeared to be successful with the message:
“URL reservation successfully added”
however I still get the same error starting pulse.
I just tested the following command here on Windows 7, and it worked:
netsh http add urlacl url=http://+:8080/ user=xxxx
The only difference I think is that I used the ‘+’ whereas your command has the IP address. Try it with the ‘+’ and let us know if that helps.
Cheers,
Oh, scratch that. I launched pulse from the Admin command prompt afterwards and that’s why it worked. When I launched it normally, I got the same error.
Hmm, I’ll keep digging…
I think I figured it out. Using ‘*’ instead of ‘+’ seems to have done the trick:
netsh http add urlacl url=http://*:8080/ user=xxxx
We’ll have to note this in our documentation.
Works perfectly. Thanks a million.
A couple of extra lines in the docs would be very helpful
