net.pipe protocol is enabled on the web site and binding is also added in IIS. Basically everything that I found on the web is followed, but I still can't figure out what exactly is that error message trying to say.

According to https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff383422%28v=azure.10%29.aspx - the address of a service supposed to be {scheme}://hostname:port//ServiceManagement.svc and in my error application bit is missing, but for what reason, no idea.

Thanks, Pav
