SSL Mutual Authentication: How to determine user?

Hi All,
We are developing a web service that will be consumed by an external
java-based client (using AXIS if that helps). Their specification dictates
that we will use SSL Mutual Authentication. In order for this to work, I
assume they will provide me with the public key of their certificate and we
will configure IIS to accept the root authority (who will be their own
internal CA I'm assuming) on the certificate as a trusted CA. I'm OK with
that but my question is how do I validate the EXACT identity of the
certificate. I don't want to (and am not sure if I can) use the
client-mapping stuff including IIS as we have little control over the
infrastructure and may not be able to create a mapped account.

Are there properties I can check of the HttpClientCerti ficate class that can
give me this information in a valid secure way? Is there a better way of
handling this? Or am I just talking a lot of nonsense. If anyone has done
something even remotely similar, I'd love to hear about it.

Thanks All,

David

I am confused between Authentication at Instance Vs Authentication at Database. Instance authentication is specified at Instance creation time (db2icrt) and is stored in db mgr. cfg. file while Database authentication is specified during the Catalog Database command. So far, so good. But when do each of the authentications come into "picture"? For example, when a remote client attempts to access a database, does it first authenticate at...

Will Forms Authentication work for me, or do I have to "roll my own" security model on this one. What I have is an aspx page that will display information based on a querystring value. Some of the information can be viewed by everyone, but other information may be viewed by only specified users or groups. The deciding factor is the querystring value. The request comes in, and the logic that pulls the data from the underlying database has...

How would i go about using windows authentication to determine whether someone was in a active directory group, and if they were the page would display something different. For instance, when someone goes to my default.asp page, only people within the "ContactAdmins" group would see the admin links, and other people would not! Please help me! :)

Hi, Am developing a web service that is gonna be consumed by a client over https. I'm using certificates to get the mutual authentication in place.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
