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...
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...
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...
One of the features I continue to wait for from the ASP.NET MVC team is a server control library to work with the MVC framework. So as I have been working on a project using ASP.NET MVC I have begun developing my own library of server controls.Recently, I began looking at the ExtJs library as a client-side script library for my project. I love how extensible the library is and the documentation is very good. However, there seems to be quite a bit of boiler plate code to be written for any data driven controls. So I decided to look...
