Hi,

I would say that it depends what you are planning to do a and who is goinf
to acess your web service and from where.

In other words do you planned to published your web service or does your web
service is part of your asp application.

The most secure would be to use security feature of IIS and use Windows
Authentication. Cookies are not secure and are mainly used to retain user
information except sensitive data.

If you want to provide FromAuthenticat ion then you could keep in cookies a
unique GUI corresponding to the user and then refer to that GUI from a
database where you will extract information.

hope it helps
regards
serge

One of the key features FormsAuthentica tion offers is automatic
redirect for non-logged in users to a login page. As I'm sure you'll
appreciate this makes no sense in the context of a web service.

Most web services don't use cookies in this way, they simply request
the username/password with each request. You can even use WSE
(http://msdn.microsoft.com/webservices/building/wse/) to help you do
this in an industry standard way (WS-Security standard).

If you have any questions about any of this - just shout!

I am an experienced developer...but a novice at creating web services, so please have mercy on me! Here is my question: I developed a fairly simple Webservice that returns a table from SQL Server. It runs great on my development machine. Now, I must deploy it to my website. My website is on a shared server holding lots of websites. The websoervice will not run there. It cannot read my SQL Server

Hi, How can I set permissions, so my webservice will run, without entering my name and password in the Web.Config file? I have created a WebService, and then added a Web reference to a Windows Form program. The webservice is an Administrators Utility, and needs to delete files on various drives/directories, and do file maintenance. This will require big access permissions.

I know how to authenticate to a webservice using either of these ways(Assuming that rService represents the webservice): 1) rService.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential("username","password","domainName"); 2)rService.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials; My question is that is there a way to authenticate to a user using WindowsIdentity ???

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,...
