I have an WinForm (VB.NET) that is launched from an ASP.NET page that uses
Form Authentication. After the WinForm is lauched it calls a web service. I
want to use the credentials stored in the cookie and authenticate them on
the web service side. Is there a way to access the information?
TIA,
Steve Wofford www.IntrRELY.com 6  3203

Hi Steve,
I am sorry if I misunderstandin g you meaning.
Is the Winform you refer to a smart client?
And you wants to run the smart client in a Webform and get the credential
the user input in the webform authentication.
If so I think you can get the username and password directly from the
WebForm as pass to the smart client as arguments.
Here is article about pass argument to an smart client windows form
application.
Launching No-Touch Deployment Applications with Command Line Arguments http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...us/dnforms/htm
l/winforms0515200 3.asp
Also you can pass the argument to the smart client when you launch it.
Dim us, ps As String
us = Me.TextBox1.Tex t 'username
ps = Me.TextBox2.Tex t 'password
Response.Redire ct(("http://localhost/vacaplan.exe?ui d=" + us + ps))
Also , can you tell did webservice you wants to call lie in the same server
with ASP.NET application? lie in the same directory? or in different server?

Thanks Peter for another good response to my question.
This article seems like exactly what I want. After I try and implement it I
will post another specific question, but this look perfect.
To answer you question as you may have other options for me. The web service
I am calling will be in the same web application. However I did put it into
another directory as another project for the time being, because the root
web appliction does require forms auth, so I moved it so I could build the
web service application and throw the authentication on it last.
Thanks,

Hi Steve,
Thanks for your quickly reply!
Based on my experience, it is a good practice to put the Webservice in
another directory which is different from the ASP.NET Form-authentication
Application.
Since the cookie is read for serverside, and the SmartClient(win form) is
running at client side. The SmartClient as a client side app can not read
the information from the cookie, it has been hashed by server and will be
read by server.
So you may try my last suggest, i.e. pass the parameter to the smartclient.
If you have any question, please post here.

Hi, I'm in the same situation and I'm passing parameters to the smart
client. I have a doubt: if I open the Internet Temporary Files folder
I can see one ".exe" for each of the combination of the parameters
like these:
xxxx.exe?param1 =qqweqweqwe
xxxx.exe?param1 =qeqwasd111
......
xxxx.exe?param1 =123456789
This is: the user is downloading the same exe each time even when no
new version is available, and I thought this was one of the good
things for the no-touch deployment.
So, is there any solution to avoid this? I was thinking storing the
parameters in another cookie and accesing the cookies from the smart
client, but I'm not able to do that. Any idea for this??
Thank you very much,

I have done some testing, and I believe I've found a solution, but I

Hi,
I noticed weird behaviour with the site that is using forms
authentication. I am logged to the site from the same machine from two
browsers (opened separately, not ctrl-N) as different users so two
sessions are created. Then from the one window I logoff but I'm
automatically logouted also from the other browser window. Why?
It is strange that it is working OK if I'm doing it on the same machine
where the web server is located.
