I'm currently working on a project with starter site.
After the installation I don't have performed SampleDataImport.exe command.
Now When I execute"site connection" to use the CatalogWebservice I don't receive an error but I not be able to create a new catalog with Catalog Manager because all command in submenu "New" are disabled. For the installation I have followed the original installation guide and if I execute SampleDataImport.exe command I have no problem to create new catalog or modify the "adventure works" catalog.
Does anyone know the solution
Thanks,
F.T

Now I have resolve my problem by logging in Windows as CatalogWebSvc user, user CatalogAdministrator on the CatalogAuthorizationStore.
I don't know the reason infact, as admin, I was able to invoke a method of the web service without any error.
Thank you mackdoyle,
