Hi Patrick, I'm guessing that if you are running a new installation of the TDS directly from a new war file, that perhaps you haven't set up WMS as an allowed service. You do this in ThreddsConfig by uncommenting the relevant section and setting <WMS> <allow>true</allow> </WMS> https://www.unidata.ucar.edu/projects/THREDDS/tech/reference/ThreddsConfigXMLFile.html#WMS Let me know if that isn't what's going on, and we'll dig deeper.
