Hi,

The cause of this error is, when the SSRS reporting server and quest knowledge portal are installed in separate servers and at the time of authentication unable to authenticate with different authentications.

Hi,
May be this error because of configuration mismatch between the testing and your current servers.
First try to browse that webservice through browser and check is it opening or not.
Also try to set credentials when you initialize the webService object like this: webServiceObj.UseDefaultCredentials = true ;
Please refer this URL:

Hope it helps.

It is very clear that its a authentication/access permission error. I think you need to go for below steps
- Right click on the virtual directory in IIS
- Choose properties from the context menu
- Select the Directory Security Tab
- Click the Edit button in the Anonymous access and authentication
control
- Check the anonymous access box
----------------------------------
2. add below line in your code before calling web service
webService.UseDefaultCredentials = true
------------------------------------
May be you can impersonate web service by putting following tag in web.config
add below tags in web.config
<identity impersonate="true" userName="localservername\administrator" password="password" />
------------------------------------
hope it helps
