I want to be able to encrypt part of a soap message. I understand I need the
public key of the identity running the web service I am sending the message
to. My Questions are
a) Where do I get the name of the identity I am sending the message to?
This is implicit in nature, just like you know the endpoint of the
service you are hitting, you will know the identity of the service
aswell. By, refering to public key you are using PKI (X509 cerficates).
So the service should give the public cert that the clients need to be using
b) How do I distribute the web service identity's public keys (in a intranet
environment)? Do I use the LocalMachineEnterprise store? How?
Certificate distribution is always a problem. You can export
certificates on the server using the MMC plug-in for certificates. And
then give the .cer (containing the public key) files to all the clients.
Thanks
