WIF Workshop 8: Lab about WIF and WCF

Published: June 23, 2010, 1:47 p.m.

This lab explores the idea of delegated service call via ActAs tokens: the exercise from the Web sites lab shows how to do that from an ASP.NET to a WCF backend, while the one from the WCF lab focuses on flowing identity info through a chain of services calls.
The first exercise of the WCF lab does not use an STS for authentication. It uses username & password credentials, and is designed to highlight the differences between the old WCF-only model and the enhanced model offered by WIF.
