Re: XML Webservice authentication

aha -

so you have a web application which already does authentication using forms and on some pages you call a webservice..?

The client will be Internet Explorer HTML pages using XML Data Island
technology, the only solution I can see is to use cookies, but I am
new to Web Services so may be there is a better techonology I can use.

Hi,

what do you mean with "but will need to be authenticated via a
cookie" ??

ok, the purpose of this xml webservice is to only return simple XML
(not SOAP). It will serve the XML over the Internet to a third party
application which will make the requests, but will need to be
authenticated via a cookie. How can I achieve this in my Web Service
?

Hi,

formsauth is not supported - i wouldn't recommend using cookies -
the "web service way" would be to use a SOAP header. Thats
basically what

WS-Security

specifies. Have a look at WSE3 here:

Is it possible to use FormAuthentication or do I have to manage my
own cookies and if so a sample/URL would be greatly appreciated.
