WCF / ASMX :: Sent A Greater Than Sign Through A Web Service?
Nov 17, 2010
I have a webservice that returns: <Index>test</Index>When it gets returned to a page & I view the source, it displays it as: <Index>test</Index>Is there a way I can send the element in its original form? I want to process the xml once it hits the page (actually flash will be interpreting the xml).
I have an application that exposes a number of ASP.NET web services at an internet location. For security reasons, I want to be able to authenticate clients, and reject any that are not authorised. The authorised clients in question will be ASP.NET web applications, but I do not have guaranteed access to their IIS configuration, nor to their local certificate stores, therefore the solution must not involve any of these items.
However, authorised clients, will always make calls to the web services using wrapper methods provided by an assembly that I do have control over. My idea is to digitally sign that assembly, and use that signature as the basis for authenticating the client.For that to work, the assembly will need to be able to construct an X509Certificate object from itself, and to attach it to the call to the web service:
Then the web service must be able to compare the incoming request certificate to its own signing certificate to authenticate the client:
X509Certificate requestCert = new X509Certificate(Context.Request.ClientCertificate.Certificate); X509Certificate signingCert = X509Certificate.CreateFromSignedFile(Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location);[code]...
The documentation for the method doesn't help much, other than remarking that ASN.1 DER is the only certificate format supported by the method. if I am signing the assembly incorrectly, misunderstanding the method itself etc.? Or more generally if the approach I am taking will work or is flawed?
I've only worked with web services a little bit. I am working on a project now using another developer's code as a template. It is code for a single sign on (SSO).
Also let me say, I have been coding in VB6/VB.NET for the past six years and am learning C# (that is what the other developer's code is written in).
setAppCredentials() is the beginning of a lot of sub-calls and I have gotten that all to work when I was running the service from within its own Visual Studio project.
Where I am having the problem is setting credentialHeader.Username and credentialHeader.Password. credentialHeader is nothing when I call validateCredentials().
I didn't see how I had these exposed to me in order to set them. So the developer said Create a client that consumes that service and set the values there and call your method.. But I still don't see how it's exposed to my consumer. I have this line of code in the consumer
Code : Dim myWebService As New localhost.xxxMemberService
(Back to VB!,) but I still don't see credentialHeader exposed.
The only other thing I see in the webservice code that might be relevant is this:
We currently have the code in WCF to sign the outgoing client requests' SOAP Body, however we need the same code for use with WSE 3.0. I can't find any examples of this.
i generated a private key like- keytool -genkey -alias mview -keypass mviewpass -keystore /keystore then exported it in form of certificate file as- -export -alias mview -keystore /home/d261733/keytool_keys/keystore -rfc -file testcert.cer this gives me two files sitting in c:
1) testcert.cer (which is the certificate)
2) keystore (which is private key)
Now i wan to sign an xml soap request like below in c# in .NET
My scenario is this - I have two ASP.net websites. Both sites run on the same machine and I have implemented single sign on relatively simply using the default asp.net membership provider (Forms based authentication).I have a new WCF service on one site, which will be called from the other site. A user will be logged into the site, but the call to the service will be made from the codebehind following a postback.Can somebody point me in the right direction so that I can pass through the Forms based credentials of the logged in user to the WCF service on the other site? Presently it's passing the NETWORKSERVICE windows credentials.
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 .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]....
i have created a normal web service and i want to host it outside IIS. one idea i got is to use window service as hosting environment. i have created a web service and hosted it window service and its window service is running now.would anybody please let me know that how can i call web service hosted in window service binded over soap.tcp. here is my sample code.
I am keep getting an error that "Service Error : wbsTest failed" where wbsTest is my webservice.
The error comes up frequently enough for the user - normally reproducible within a minute or so of working with an application.
A bit of background: An user is a remote user accessing application hosted on our servers over https. He is software firewalled and his connection isn't the fastest but it is responsive enough. When errors do not present themselves, page loads are fairly quick.
I am writing a program to measure the latency(response round trip time) for a web service. I need to have this at client side.
My initial plan is to store the time at which request is sent and then calculate the difference in time when we recieve a response from the web service. Is this the correct way to measure latency of web service. This has some overhead because of storing time and all. How can this be done?
Another option is to attach a timestamp with the SOAP request. But the server should return the timestamp. This will not be possible in case of third party web services.
but when I tried to add the service reference to the silverlight app, the Add Service Reference window would show me that there was a service file, but the node wouldn't expand to show the rest of the files that contain the services and what not. I got this error instead:
"An error occurred during the processing of a configuration file required to service this request. review the specific error details below and modify your configuration file appropriately."
"Parser Error Message:There is no service behavior named 'AdventureWorks_WebServer.Service1Behavior'."
"Metadata contains a reference that cannot be resolved: 'http://localhost:55579/Service1.svc'.
The server did not provide a meaningful reply; this might be caused by a contract mismatch, a premature session shutdown or an internal server error.
If the service is defined in the current solution, try building the solution and adding the service reference again."
I'm just getting started with WCF services and I want to ask you if you could tell me where a WCF service runs.As far as I have researched a WCF service works as a server-side application (under IIS).I believe it works a similar way to a servlet in Tomcat.
