Hi, Can somebody help me with resolving following problem. I have problem connecting from C# program via Web services to Gemini. I'm getting error "Root element is missing" when calling method GetMyWork() Connection is established via ssl, certifactes are added to trusted root centers. Did I make something wrong ?

Are you using windows authentication?

It is. On other wokrstations there is no such problem. Can it be user dependent ?

Please try and use Fiddler (http://www.fiddler2.com/fiddler2/) to check the response from the server.

I have found origin of the problem, but still explanation on why it is like that and what is needed to overcome the problem is needed. It started working when I have specified not only login, but also password, which as I assumed (and it is working for others with the same IIS installation) is not needed since it is used windows authentication. So my question is - why it is like that for me and not for others. If it is not a bug of Gemini - what should be done to make Gemini use the same authentication for me ?

Can you post your code? Did you set the service manager to use windows authentication?
