WCF Security:Silverlight authentication for WCF service based on security token
In my previous blogs I show you how to authenticate WCF service client base on username/password. That is very available for ASP.Net client. But with Silverlight client, it is not available. THe Silverlight application is running on the remote machine of end users, it is not acceptable to transfer usename/password in cleartext in the wire. In addition, Silverlight supports BasicHttpBinding only,so security in transport level is not supported. In order to authenticate Silverlight calle

WCF Security:authentication base on Username/Password - Part III
1. By now ,we know how to config our WCF webservice and client so that it can work base on Usename authentication,with either basicHttpBinding or wsHttpBinding. Note the security mode. Using Transport only would leave us no options for a custom username / password scenario; basic and digest both don’t play nice with WCF's custom username / password mechanism. Ideal would be Message security, but the combination of Message security and basicHttpBinding doesn’t support a username / pas

WCF Security:authentication based on Username/Password - Part I
Goals: To enhancement security of WCF webservice, we need to authenticate the client of our WCF webservice. In the case of Sentry Project, we choose to authenticate the client of WCF webservice base on username/password,via a custom UserNamePasswordValidator type. We need a Declarative mode by setting configurations of WCF and the client. Questions: While researching, I encountered the following troubles: 1. While chosen “Username” option with Message Security, WCF limits the us
