Access denied in WCF when switching to SSL ASP.NET Forms authentication

Questions

I have a web application that users login to using ASP.NET Forms authentication. In the web application there is a Silverlight app. The Silverlight app calls a WCF Web Service on the same server. The WCF Service does not allow anonymous access so each service function has:

    [PrincipalPermission(SecurityAction.Demand, Authenticated = true)]

All of this works when I deploy on IIS and use HTTP.

However I want to use SSL, so I try to configure this. I have created a web site in IIS with https binding. I can login to the site using https and ASP.NET Forms Authentication. I can download the Silverlight app, but when Silverlight try to call the WCF Web Services (on the same server, under /Services) I now get Access Denied (I did not get this when I was using http).

Aspx pages are in the root, .svc-files are under /Services, images under /Img and .css under /Styles My web.config:

<location path="Img">
  <system.web>
    <authorization>
      <allow users="*"/>
    </authorization>
  </system.web>
</location>

<location path="Styles">

    <authorization>
      <allow users="*"/>
    </authorization>
  </system.web>
</location>

<location path="Services">
  <system.web>
    <authorization>
      <allow users="*"/>
    </authorization>
  </system.web>

    <serviceHostingEnvironment multipleSiteBindingsEnabled="true" aspNetCompatibilityEnabled="true"/>
</system.serviceModel>

<system.webServer>
<validation validateIntegratedModeConfiguration="false"/>
</system.webServer>

Basically what I have changed in web.config between the http web site and the https one are httpsTransport under customBinding and httpsGetEnabled under serviceMetadata.

Any idéas much appreciated!

Answers

I got it to work simply by adding serviceAuthorization principalPermissionMode="None" in web.config.

<serviceBehaviors>
  <behavior name="ServiceBehavior">
    <serviceMetadata httpsGetEnabled="true" />
    <serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="true" />
<serviceAuthorization principalPermissionMode="None" />
<wcfFaultExtension />
  </behavior>
</serviceBehaviors>
