Re: Web Services Authentication

Your best bet for implementing non-windows authentication is to use the WSE
toolkit from microsoft and implement a custom AuthenticationManager that can
check the supplied credentials

A good article on this can be found here

http://www.codeproject.com/webservices/WS-Security.asp

There are no problems using WSE with a Windows Forms client.

Hope this helps
