WCF service URL ACL on windows 7 : Your process does not have access rights to this namespace

Question

Porting an application from my previous development machine (XP) to a new one (w7), and having an issue with WCF.

HTTP could not register URL http://+:8001/KolonistenVanCatan/MetaData/. Your process does not have access rights to this namespace (see http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=70353 for details).

Now, the page referred to, and many blogs all explain the same solution, which I understand, but whenever trying to add the url, and entering my account name, it says the parameter is incorrect.

netsh http add urlacl url=http://+8001/KolonistenVanCatan/MetaData user=SDRY\SXXXX DX RXXXX

Is this not working because of the spaces in my windows account name ?

Answer 1

Hello,

just place the user name into quotes like user="SDRY\SXXXX DX RXXXX"
