I am trying to do a server side doc/docx to pdf conversion using Word Automation Services. I am using the basic sample from MSDN, Link: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff742315.aspx and encounter an obscure error every time ConversionJob's Start() method is called. Here's the exception;
Source: mscorlib
Message: An unsecured or incorrectly secured fault was received from the other party. See the inner FaultException for the fault code and detail.
InnerException: System.ServiceModel.FaultException: An error occurred when verifying security for the message.

I tried the same code inside one of our sharepoint sites, still got the same error. Trying this inside a Wcf Service has same result. I made a visual web part for this and same error. Changing user accounts or RunWithElevatedPrivileges didn't help either.
Since the sample requires Microsoft.Sharepoint and Microsoft.Office.Word.Server.Conversions namespaces, I have to run this code on some server having sharepoint installed. So IMHO, the time skew issue is not related as the code is ran over the same server where Word Automation Services are present. I expect some configuration problems on the sharepoint server side, but I don’t know what to check.
Let me know if any other details are required, thanks.
