Authentication error while consuming web service published in SR of CE 7.1

Question

Hi,
I am having this error while trying to consume a web service published in local services registry. Authentication level is set as Basic in the web service and in end point. I am receiving this error in security log files.
Message:Authentication for web service ServicesRegistrySiService, configuration ServicesRegistrySiPort using security policy sap.com/tcesiuddisrws~earServicesRegistrySiServiceServicesRegistrySiPort*ws failed: Login failed.. (See SAP Note 880896 for further info).

following is the code in a C# .Net 2.0 from where the service is called.
            CnarService srv = new CnarService();
            NetworkCredential ic = new NetworkCredential("user", "password");
            CredentialCache cache = new CredentialCache();
            srv.UseDefaultCredentials = false;
            srv.PreAuthenticate = true;
            srv.Credentials = ic;
            try
                srv.Timeout = 600;
                cnarobject cnObj = srv.GetObject("1");
                fnameTextBox.Text = cnObj.firstname;
                lnameTextBox.Text = cnObj.lastname;
                mnameTextBox.Text = cnObj.middlename;
            catch (WebException wex)
                MessageBox.Show(wex.Message + wex.Response + wex.StackTrace);
I tried to find the SAP Note 880896 but note doesn't exists. I am receiving similar error while trying to connect Enterprise Services explorer for .Net
Please help.

Hi,
maybe you should see the settings for the ServicesRegistrySiService too. Under nwa->SOA.
I am not sure, but the error seems like not able to use the ServicesRegistrySiPort, which is to be authenticated against.
It is then used for retrieval of web services and publishing to the registry... i suppose.
I am not sure though.
Best regards,
