This is the fourth and final article in a four part series on building a single sign on (SSO) provider using the ASP.NET platform. Make sure to check out part 1, part 2 and part 3.Source CodeImplementing a Single Signon ProviderThis is all a rehash since I've covered each point in detail to this point, but I'd like to tie everything together at this point and provide the source code. If you'd like detailed descriptions about how/why review the previous 3 parts. The full source code will be available here. When an unauthenticated client requests a secured resource...
Using JSONP with WCFThis is the third article in a four part series on building a single sign on (SSO) provider using the ASP.NET platform. If you just want to know about JSONP and WCF and aren't interested in implementing SSO read ahead. Otherwise, make sure to check out part 1 and part 2. (Part 4 and the source code are now available).JSONPAlso known as “JSON with Padding” is more of a back door to allow cross domain AJAX requests. By dynamically generating <script /> tags in the current page it gets around the “Access to restricted URI denied” error...
Using Forms Authentication with WCFThis is the second article in a four part series on building a single sign on (SSO) provider using the ASP.NET platform. If you just want to know about forms authentication and WCF and aren't interested in implementing SSO read ahead. Otherwise, make sure to check out part 1 (part 2, part 3, part 4 and the source are now available).IntroductionAn important distinction to make here before I get started is that I am not using FormsAuthentication to secure a WCF service. I am using FormsAuthentication to manage user identity. FormsAuthentication comes with handy Encrypt/Decrypt methods...
This is the first in a 4 part series on building a single sign on provider using the ASP.NET platform (ASP.NET and WCF). Originally, I wrote the article as a single post but it was pretty long, even for me. Part 1 addresses the problem in general and how I decided to architect it. Part 2 discusses setting up FormsAuthentication for WCF Part 3 discusses JSONP communication between the client and WCF Part 4 describes the implementation details and includes the source code. Part 1: Planning an SSO Solution We're using a custom...
The World's Most Over-engineered “Hello World” DemoDownload SourceI wanted to build a demo/guidance application for Silverlight that merges everything I want to accomplish in a Silverlight 2 application. These were my goals: WCF integration Design-time data binding Independent, decoupled modules Commanding support I chose to use the Composite Application Library for WCF/Silverlight (aka Prism 2) since it came out of the box with commanding support and a framework for pluggable modules. Prism 2 was developed by Microsoft's Patterns and Practices (PnP) group.I've posted a copy of my solution for anyone who's interested in...
I'm in the process of creating the world's most complex “Hello World” Silverlight application. Hopefully, for once, I'll see it through to the end and also post the source and an insightful blog entry to help everybody who's struggling to do the same. Anyone who follows my blog knows that I don't always follow through on a series to the end. But, “I can dream can't I?”. Anyhow, I've taken the recent release of Prism v2, which introduced Silverlight support, to dig in and get to know both Prism and Silverlight. As background, I have one production WFP application under...
Yesterday I got stuck on a problem with a DateTime parameter I was attempting to submit to a WCF operation (method). I was trying to call call the operation using POST and the format was JSON. I was getting the value from the javascript Date object like this:var eventDate = new Date();var json = { date : "/Date(" + eventDate.getTime() + ")/" };// value of date would be "/Date(65746416843)/"(yes that number is completely off the top of my head)But after the POST operation the date on the server side was 7 hours ahead. I knew it was because I am...
I've been working with WCF in an intranet environment over the last couple weeks and have been getting some good experience which is forcing me to dig in more an more. My disclaimer is: I still only have a surface level understanding of how it works and why I want to do things a certain way. So if you see that I'm doing something wrong here please let me know so I can make the correction and prevent passing on bad code examples.Because we are working in an intranet environment using ASP.NET our WCF endpoint binding config looks like this:...
Been wanting to get to this part of development for a while now and since I struggled a bit to get this working I thought it would make a good post. With the release of the .NET Framework 3.5 WCF seems to be growing in popularity (or maybe it's just me), but since WCF seems to be the replacement for WebSerivices I figure I need to get to know it.In my last post on WCF I didn't use any client, other than just pointing the browser window at the service address for an operation with no parameters and a return...
It's finally time to dig into what all the buzz with WCF is about. From what I hear it should perform better than WebServices, has better security and be more flexible. But I'm a bit frustrated by some of the documentation out there. So much of what I'm seeing is either glazed over too much for me to immediately apply it (blogs, articles and forums) or it's too high level to get me started quick enough to play with it. So in order to cement what I'm learning about WCF I am planning on writing a series of posts that...
