Pass Principal Object To Web Service

I have a custom Principal (implements System.Security .Principal.IPri ncipal
interface) that I need to access from a WebService. My web application has
the Thread.CurrentP rincipal set to this new Principal object, as well as
HttpContext.Cur rent.User. But when I access either Thread.CurrentP rincipal
or HttpContext.Cur rent.User from the Web Service, they are not the same as
those set in the Web Application (and I can see why). My question is, how
can I make the Principal from the Web Service be the same as the one from
the Web Application? If I have to pass the Principal to the Web Service,
that is fine...but I seem to not be able to do this.

In our security system, it has fills the roles collection and creates a new
custom Principal instance (along with the Identity). This principal is used
by our business logic layer to check the user's permissions/roles. The Web
Service calls the methods on the business logic layer and all calls fail
because the Principal object doesn't contain the correct Roles.

So, how can I do this? I need to access the same Principal object on the
Web Service as the one that's created on the Web Application.

Thanks,
Mythran

I'm making a call to a webservice from my ASP.NET page. The web application has anonymous access turned off and Integrated Windows auth turned on. The web.config has <identity impersonate=true>. I set the credentials of the web service proxy to the DefaultCredentials. Right before I make the call, I print out the WindowsIdentity, and it is showing the right identity. So I know the web application is authenticating properly. However,...

Hi folks, I would be interested to hear peoples views on whether or not 'pass by reference' is allowed when using a Web Service method. The thing that troubles me about pass-by-reference into a WebService is that essentially we are passing an address of an object which resides on the 'local machine' i.e. a local machine object address. Surely when the WebService method is called and run 'on the server', the reference type will be...

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,...
