WCF Intermediatery service issues

Hello!

We have a situation where in we're developing a WCF Intermediatery service, which would handle calls between Callers (could be asp.net wcf clients)
and External Services (mostly WCF Services with endpoints).

ASP.net clients <--Our WCF Service <--External Services

Scenario: Our service is mainly there to ENCAPSULATE the low-level details of business-processing and making calls to external services and processing the return from services and returning clients with more simpler results.

Situation: we're faced with a situation, wherein, the external service only has a END-POINT with TRANSPORT-SECURITY over BasicHttpBindin g (https) and clientCredentia lType being UserName. Since we act as intermediately, ideally we make the calls to the service on behalf our clients. But in this case, due to Transport-security being Point-To-Point, we're wondering how to establist a secured https session between the Client and the External Service.
Second, this is required because, the external service wants to RE-DIRECT the caller to a web-page to capture some details (like say credit-card), meaning somewhere during the course of request-resp between Clients and Us, Us and External Service (we can establish https ourselved between us and external service as we have the UserName credentials), we need to be able to allow Client and External service have a secured transaction.

Question: Is this possible? Suppose we called the External Service with a HTTP POST, and it RE-DIRECTED us to a web-page in a https session, can we pass this session to the client and allow them to establish https session with them and probably fill in data in their webpage and submit?

Kindly provide guidence
Regards

On the project installer I state this by using: Me.myService.ServicesDependedOn = New String() {"Print Spooler", "Net Logon", "Network Connections"} The problem: If the server is not an english version I have to translate the service names. Here is how I do it for portuguese and "other" (english):

I am sure this has been asked at least once before but I could not find anything when searching. If I set the value of the ExitCode property to 1066 for a windows service, the text "A service specific error occured: 0." How do I (if it is possible) change the value of the zero to something custom (like a "look in the event log for further information" message)? Thank you,

All: I have a Win32 service that takes about 30 seconds to shutdown (give or take a few seconds). I shut the service down via the 'Services' console on Windows Server 2003.

However if the service takes over 30 seconds to shut down, I get the following error in the System Event Log: "Timeout (30000 milliseconds) waiting for a transaction response from the XYZ...

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,...
