Re: Web Services Authentication

Hello Justin,

Web Services implemented using ASP.NET only support Windows and SOAP
(custom) authentication, not Forms.

See
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cpguide/html/cpconSecuringASPNETWebServices.asp

I am working on a Windows Forms app also and am consuming Web Services I
wrote and host in ASP.NET, however, I use Windows Integrated authentication.

Regards
Joubert
