<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have a C# WCF application that I've been working on. It contains 2 sites, an external one and an internal one.<br />
<br />
Previously they have both worked perfectly. I have local urls for each app defined in IIS pointing to 2 different AppPools. I am using a defined user and have given this user Full Control for the entire directory structure of the app's code as well as Permissions on each of the apps and set the identity for each AppPool. When I click on the Test Settings button, they both show green checks next to the Authentication and Authorization.<br />
<br />
I recently had to delete my local repo and Clone the one from our TFS server. The external one no longer runs saying that Access is Denied. The internal app works perfectly.<br />
<br />
Any ideas on what I can check to help figure out why this is happening?

What am I missing in this WCF setup?

Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) is a tool used to implement and deploy a service-oriented architecture (SOA) to support distributed computing where services have remote consumers. It features a runtime and a set of APIs in the .NET Framework for building connected, service-oriented applications. Services typically have a WSDL interface (Web Services Description Language) that any WCF client can use to consume the service, regardless of which platform the service is hosted on. WCF implements many advanced Web services (WS) standards such as WS-Addressing, WS-ReliableMessaging, WS-Security, RSS Syndication Services, WS-Discovery, routing and better support for REST services.

C# is an object-oriented programming language created in conjunction with Microsoft’s .NET framework. Compilation is usually done into the Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL), which is then JIT-compiled to native code (and cached) during execution in the Common Language Runtime (CLR).

Team Foundation Server

Microsoft Visual Studio is an integrated development environment (IDE) from Microsoft. It is used to develop computer programs for Microsoft Windows, as well as web sites, web applications and web services. Visual Studio uses Microsoft software development platforms such as Windows API, Windows Forms, Windows Presentation Foundation, Windows Store and Microsoft Silverlight. It can produce both native code and managed code.
