Web Service Windows Authentication - Exception on first call

Overview

When the first call to our Web Service causes an exception, the Web Service
caches that user's credentials for its life time.

Details

We have a Web Service which uses Windows Authentication. Within the Web
Service we look at the current username and check which user Groups it
belongs to.

If the user belongs to a particular Group, then we identify which database
to connect to. We then connect to that DB and return the relevant data
requested.

If the user does not belong to a particular Group, then the webservice
throws an exception.

What we have discovered is that if the FIRST call to the Web Service is by
user 'A' and this causes an exception, then ALL SUBSEQUENT calls to the Web
Service will think it's running as user A, even if it's from user 'B'.

If the first call is successful and (say) the second call causes an
exception, then all subsequent calls to the Web Service will work fine and
the Web Service will know the correct user identity..

We've tried to call the Web Service from the test page, within a windows
form and with multiple users. It is as if the application caches the user
for it's life time.

Has anybody else had this issue?

Thanks

Griff

I am trying to control a Windows Service via a Web Service interface. (I am developing in .NET2003) I am using the ServiceController object which allows me to read the state of the services with no problems. However, I am not able to start or stop the service unless I go through the process of impersonating an administrative user. (See MSDN KB 306158) Since it appears to be a privilege issue, I set the folders in IIS holding the Web...

We are attempting to make a request to a web service (we will refer to it as XXXServices) hosted on a Web Logic server from a C# SOAP client.

Hi, I am trying to call a webservice from a windows service application. It works only if I launch the windows service app from VS.Net 2005 (Worked around from Main()) or from a winform test application. However, it generates a kind of security error after I install and start the service in my Window Server machine. I believe that it is related to authentication. The following is the sample code: HttpWebRequest obj =...

I am writing a service that monitors when a particular app is started. Works, but I need to get the user who is currently logged in, and of course Environment.UserName returns the service logon (NT_AUTHORITY\SYSTEM). I understand that when the service starts, no user may be logged in, but that's ok, as the app I am monitoring can only be run by a logged in user. Do I need to use WMI to get the user context of Explorer.exe or is there a...

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,...
