WCF / ASMX :: Authentication For A Public Web Service?
May 14, 2010
By default web service is enable for windows authentication. But if we want to expose our service to public domain, then I guess we have to use some specific credential for web service authentication. Can anyone tell me how to set those credential at service side and validate it for client and how the client will send those credentials?
1. i am calling wsdl of api it is asking for username and password . I configured that and now i am able to see wsdl 2. i have an this API from my wcf application , first i have tried with WCF service application . i add the API as WEBrefrence and created code like that
localhost.WebServicesSessionSpringBeanService service= new localhost.WebServicesSessionSpringBeanService();
I have just started building an asp.net web service with visual studio 2005. However whenever i try and run the site i get this message, saying "debugging failed because integrated windows authentication is not enabled". I am at a loss of how to correct this problem.
I want to use PKI public and private encryption for authentication to allow for a more streamlined and secure application access control system. generation of certificate and authentication will be useful. One more question, can i use System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates class for the same?
In my development environment everything works as I expect. I can access all the pages and as soon as I get to a secured page I check the Request.IsAuthenticated and redirect to the login page if needed. The problems starts when I deploy the project under IIS7. When I access the site I'm being redirected to the login page (as defined in the web.config) although it suppose to be a public page... If I disable the Form Authentication in the admin console Request.IsAuthenticated always return true.So
How can I make IIS behaves like my ASP.NET development server?
I have this Internet web service page(webservice.asmx) being consumed jquery ajax call.
And I am hoping to restrict public request to this webservice other than request from local pages (aspx or jquery ajax call).
The web service checks for form-authentication before it gets executed but I just don't feel comfortable the .asmx page and list of services are viewable.
So users can't just type www.mysite.com/webservice.asmx to access my webservice.
I'm building a complex, public web service in WCF that send email to a specific address, similar to a contact form but with some features.With jQuery I get the data from the textbox and with Ajax and json I send to the web service the strings to proceed at the send.
Now, is there a good way to make it secure?
I mean.. the service is public so someone can have access to it and starting to spam on this address. Can I restrict the users to use the web service only from the correct web site?
i have websrvice class in this i declared a webmethod and a public property my problem is i want to acess service class public property in my asp.net web application after creating proxy object.
if i have the web application with many pages like add order page, edit order page, and delete order page actually they also interact with the Sql Server 2008 and i also create web service page call Sales_Service.asmx. i know just i need to put something like query into Web Method in Sales_Service.asmx but i have a lot of queries, i don't know which query i should put into it and how the web page call the Sales_Services.asmx
A customer reported that our asmx web service is continually increasing in memory (mem usage as well as private bytes). We are able to reproduce the problem in our lab with Windows 2003 Server SP2 (fully patched) on some of the machines. The customer is using Windows 2008.
We created a Hello World web service targeting the 2.0 framework built under VS2005 SP1 and a test client that continues to call it. The memory increases steadily - approximately 40K per client request. If the test app is paused, the memory remains the same. When it is closed, the memory drops. Explicit calling of GC.Collect does not drop the memory.
We have run the memory profiler on the service and the leak is all native memory. We have uninstalled/re-installed the Framework on one of the machines but no difference. To our knowledge all of the security and IIS settings are not modified. We have compared app pool, default web site and virtual directory properties to machines that have no problem and they are identical.
I have a site in development with several web services (ASMX) that post important data to my database. When I navigate to the ASMX file in my browser, I can fill in the form with the parameters and post to the DB. If someone finds the URL to my WS, they can severely alter my database. I want to prevent people from being able to post to my WS publicly. So far, I've thought of two things that may but I'd like to know if there are any other ways:
Check to see if the HTTP Referrer to the WS method is the domain the WS is on Add an additional parameter called Key to all important WS methods and have this be an encrypted "password." Then encrypt my stored password on the WS side and compare if the keys match.
I am writing two ASP.NET apps. One is a web service that provides xml data and the other is a web client that will use the service to display and manipulate data. I would like for the web service to do the membership authentication and authorization. Is there any way to simply point the login controls in my client application to the web service instead of to a database. I assume I would have to provide the necesarry methods in my web service interface, which would then use the membership provider database I created and pass the results back through to the client.
Is this possible? I have seen many articles on security provisioin from a web service but none has really been what I am looking for. I was hoping that, since my service and my client are both written in ASP.NET, there might be some built functionality that would benefit me.
I have a .net app developed in .net 4.0 version. And I implemented an asmx web service in this. Now I want to call one of the webservice method in another classis ASP application java script function.
Is it possible to run a web service as a particular user/service account in the same way a Windows service can?I have a service account used for connecting to the DB and want to run the webservice under this account as the users using the webservice won't have DB access.The way I see to do it is to include the Impersonate option in the Web.config file, but is there any better way to do this?
How to create an instance of web service without adding web service reference? How to identify the server address/name where the web service is hosted from C# code?
My WCF Client calls my WCF Service which then calls ASMX Web Service. The problem is i have configured my wcf client and wcf service to windows credentials type but when wcf service calls asmx service the user credentials (default windowsidentity) is not passed to asmx service.
In WCF Service i am able to get user identity by using : Thread.CurrentPrincipal.Identity.Name; WCF Service - i have disabled anonymous access and enabled windows authentication. ASMX Web Service - i have disabled anonymous access and enabled windows authentication. WCF Service Config [Code]....
