Re: use SOAP header for asp.net session state

Hello InvalidLastName,

Yes,SQL Server reporting service use an executionID to maintain a session
to a certain report/snapshot at server-side, and this is actually depend on
the server-side's executionID manager( like the SessionState manager in
ASP.NET).

For your scenario, I think you can go through the custom SOAPheader
approach for session management, however, you may need to implement your
own server-side ID manager (such as how to create a new sessionID and
determine the lifecycle and expiration of a certain ID). For SoapHeader,
we only use it to store and pass the sessionID from client to server. Here
are some reference about how to use custom soapheader in ASP.NET webservice
and client and sample article of passing authentiate info through soap
header:

#Using SOAP Headers
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/77hkfhh8.aspx

#Soap Headers Authentication in Web Services
http://aspalliance.com/805_Soap_Headers_Authentication_in_Web_Services

For your scenario, you can let the client always call a authenticate
webmethod first which will retrieve a ticket ID from your server-side
authentication manager, then, in sequential requests, client proxy will set
the ID in the soapheader .... How do you think so?
