  Load data from different domain Reply Contact Hi all. This is my first post here, and I am a noob to IIS, so it should be a fairly simple question. I have a script and I need to access a web service from another domain, but I wont let me. This is the error message I get in the firefox error console Security Error: Content at http://localhost:81/soap/demo.htm may not load data from http://www.email.loc/servers/template.soap_server.php?wsdl. I gather from the error message that you can't access data from another domain... Is that correct? If so how can I set up IIS to allow me to access data from another domain?  Thanks in advance :)

  Re: Load data from different domain Reply Contact This isn't an IIS issue, it's a security error.  You need to use an account that can access the web service.  Since this is a HTML static file, you're using the IUSR account most likely, and that's a local account.  You need to use an account that has access in the other domain, either through a domain account and trusts or using a local account on the other server.  It might be as simple as creating identical accounts on both servers, then using that account as the anonymous user account, but there's no easy way to tell.

  Re: Load data from different domain Reply Contact ... actually, isn't this a client-side issue with Firefox not allowing the page to get data from a different domain?  Kind of like a cross site scripting issue?  In that case it has nothing to do with IIS and you'd get a better answer in a browser/scripting forum ...

Jeff Hey cool thanks for the reply. How do I go about creating an account that can access the other domain? And then how do I use that account to access the domain?
