Hi,
I'm going to develop a pretty simple document management application and
i want to use WCF to connect back-end to smart client front-end.
That application will allow to create a hierarchcal structure where any
node can be linked with a document file, which are all stored in a SQL
Server database.
I'm trying to convince my boss towards smartclient instead of ASP.NET
app and i need to create a simple "proof-of-concept" - to start with i
need a login screen and ability to login with some predefined
(hardcoded) usernames.
I was looking at the examples in SDK and all of them are using some 509x
authentication for which a certificate needs to be installed and some
other stuff. I don't need all that; what i need is to be able to pass
username+password to backedn, verify there against my database and
return result. I'm sure this type of authentication is possible with WCF
but i can't find a simple example showing that.
I would really appreciate any example/idea/reference!
PS. I plan to have 3 layers: data layer(low level communication with
database - i already have it form our existing project), business layer
(all authentication logic, all other methods between UI and data layer)
and UI, connected to business layer using WCF.
Thank you,
MuZZy
