Publishing the Managed Metadata Service, through a firewall to another AD Forrest - fun and games...

According to the following MS article, the Tags feature is linked to the Managed Metadata Service, which is required to use Tags. For some reason I cannot find this feature as described in the article where it specified Managed Metadata Service is located in the Application Management section. What should I check to make sure this feature/service can be enabled?

Whenever I try to add a web reference to the WCF service in my project, I get an error:

'The HTML document does not contain Web service discovery information.
There was an error downloading 'http://localhost/OFTestSite/Service.svc/$metadata'.
The request failed with HTTP status 400: Bad Request.'

When I browse Service.svc directly from the IIS, the page opens with the statement 'Metadata publishing for this service is currently disabled.'

I followed all the steps correctly to make metadata publishing enabled, but still I get the same message and I'm not able to add the web refernce.

Could anyone please help me? 

(I am using VS 2010 Professional on Windows XP machine with IIS 5.1)

We have a managed metadata service with two owners. Both of them can't change anything to the term store anymore. The moment they try they get access denied:

The user doesnt have enough permissions. When looking into the log of SharePoint i found the following message:

Cannot check for changes because no EMM application proxy can be found

When I try to add another administrator using the Install_Admin account (who is farm admin) I get the same message that the user doesnt have enough permissions.

Our term store is setup in multiple languages with Dutch being the primary one.

Any help much appreciated.

 Hello all,

I have published the MMSA in one farm so it can be connected to and consumed by another farm. The publishing farm URL is https (SSL) and the consuming farm is http (Non-SSL). The connection to the MMSA shows in Central Admin as succesful, however when I try to open the Managed Metadata in the term store in the consuming farm I get the following error:

"The Managed Metadata Service is inaccessible because the current web application has not been granted permissions to access it."

I followed all the steps in technet, including the certificate exchanges and the publishing farm MMSA has granted the consuming farm full control.

Any clues? Can a farm with SSL publish service applications to non-SSL farms?

I have created a WCF service from VS 2010 and started debugging only after makin changes in web.config file, and is looking like this.

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<configuration>

  <system.web>
    <compilation debug="true" targetFramework="4.0" />
  </system.web>
  <system.serviceModel>
