WCF / ASMX :: How To Properly Test SSL Enabled Web Services
Oct 5, 2010
Maybe I am overthinking this a bit but I have a set of SSL enabled third party web services that I want to test. The url for the web service is essentially [URL]
Do I need to have a certificate setup on my test ASPX page to fully encrypt this connection or am I OK. with simply a simple ASPX page, create my objects from the WSDL and have at it?
I am having some trouble with my IIS web server & SQL reporting services.
At the current time my site is playing host to both reporting services (/reports & /reportserver) as well as my personal website (domain.com)
Only just recently have I implemented a Theme on my site and as such I have placed a statement in my web.config file directing it to apply a certain theme in the following manner:
<pages styleSheetTheme="General">
Because of this when I try to access the report pages it fails, telling me it couldn't find the Theme. So, what I did was locate the source files for the /reports & /reportserver directories and placed the App_Theme folder in them hoping that would sort everything out.
What I am getting now is the following error:
*Using themed css files requires a header control on the page. e.g. head runat="server" *
Does anyone know how I can get around this? Do I have to hack the SQL reporting aspx pages? I do NOT want to remove the web.config declaration.
I'm developing a web site in a high-security environment. For example, we use CAC cards to authenticate users over SSL. The site is a mix of VB.NET and C# on .NET 3.5 with some AJAX. The AJAX parts are now calling web services for things like Cascading Drop Down Lists. We've been running VS2008 configured on our local PCs to use IIS instead of the default server (Cassini). However, some security policies were rolled out to the desktops over the weekend and, suddenly, we're not allowed to run IIS on our PCs anymore. I already have some of our IT people trying to appeal for waivers for developers. In the meantime, I need to find a way to keep developing. If I turn off the SSL requirement to the 'secure' part of the application (locally, my PC only) I can serve up some of the pages (using Cassini) when I hit "F5", but pages with web services just bring up "server application unavailable". I need to be able to add some more functions into the existing web services, among other things, so the ability to single-step through the code is still a necessity. I'm sure someone who is limited to using Cassini has found a way to Build/Debug pages in VS2008 when webservices are involved. As it turns out, some links had "HTTPS://" hard-coded in them (I inherited these). Changing the link to "~folderpage.aspx" allowed Cassini to properly serve things up.
i had my code in .aspx page which i trnasfeered to the .asmx pageso i get error in few places in .asmx pageUnable to cast object of type 'System.String' to type 'System.String[]'earlier i had a label control which i hve replaced with a variable in .asmx pagelet me knw hoe to do the few modification to make it workingi hve the below code which gives me conversion frm string to string[] errorPrivate Shared errorList As List(Of String) = New List(Of String)dim msg as string
If errorList.Count = 0 Then msg="Sucessfully done" Else
I need a book or two to get a good understanding of web services, starting from very basics, and going upto WCF. I've been using c# for 2 years and have intermediate level of experience with the language.
I have written some web services that I want to make available to others by subscription. The subscribers need to use the service from a specific domain / IP address and also authenticate with a user Id and password.
What exactly should I distribute to the subscriber so they can use the services, while exposing the least about my code?How can authenticate a consumer of services without always passing an Id / password for each service?
I learned from internet that webservices can be invoked only by HTTP whereas WCF can be invoked by HTTP,TCP,et., can i know the difference between them
I've created Web Services in .Net 3.5 & Consumed those Web Services in a Client Web Application. Now i want to Host the WebService in IIS 5.1. I'm very new to .net, I'm using VS 2010, Wndows XP Service Pack 3, IIS 5.1;
I have a wcf dataservice that talks to a silverlight client and a wcf service library that talks to a chat client.How can i get the two services to talk to each other?
ExchangeServiceBinding binding = new ExchangeServiceBinding(); binding.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(username, password); binding.Url = "http://servername/ews/exchange.asmx";
The above web services throws Unauthorized Access Error (Error : 401) for newly created users.I would like to know how to impersonate this user for accessing this exchange web services.
I'm having my first experience with Web Services with .Net. I received from a client an integration manual to consume a web service they have.
In this manual I have the following information:
Request Interface: [URL]
Using SOAP request would return a XML Document with the response.
WSDL: [URL]
Request XML:
[Code]....
There's also XSD for the response XML.
Well, I'm having a little trouble trying to figure out how to consume this web service.
I found a topic here pointing to a MSDN article. There it says that I would have to add a Web Reference for this web service, but in my case this web service is external. Do I really have to add this reference to consume the web service? If yes how do I do that?
Next I have to create the XML Document that will be sent with the SOAP request. But here's a question. Searching on the internet I found mainly two types of request XML. I don't know wich one I should use.
The first one would be:
[Code]....
The second one is a XML file with soap:Body, soap:Header, soap:Envelope, etc.
Wich one should I create with my application in order to consume the web service? If it's the second one, how would look the XML for the data of the first XML?
And finally, how do I send the Soap request? As I said above, I found a MSDN article but it assumes I'm adding a web reference to the web service on my project and I belive that in my case I won't add this reference. So, how do I consume this web service?
I'm kind of lost here and really really soon I will have to estimate how long will take to develop the web service consume code.
I have a simeple web service set up to call from JAVASCRIPT. That works. Can someone tell me how to access profiles from a web seervice. I get arofileCommon could nt be found......I have included the following in the service but it doesn't seem to solve the problem:
How to make web services secure in asp.net both the asmx and on WCF. Currently we have web services and now are in process of converting them to WCF in some modules in our application. Now as upgradation is in process we like to incorporate security on the web services as we intend to open some of them to all our clients via web (they contain both asmx and WCF as well).
I have a webservice, that when called, calls many other web services based on the information that was sent. I have always left the timeout as the default, or a better way to describe it, I have never changed anything. How (and where) do I change the timeouts for each service individually. Since I have quite a few now, I want the original transaction to never take more than 30 seconds. That said. I want to go in and change the timeouts for the services I have to ping in that 30 seconds to be 5 to 10 seconds based on which one.
I am a .NET programmer trying to catch up on Java web services for an upcoming project in office. Can someone describe briefly what are the differences between .NET web services and Java web services?
