Released Service Pack 1 of Web Services Enhancements (WSE) 2.0 available for download

If you’re doing anything with secure web services using the .NET Framework, then you’ll want to get the latest version of WSE 2.0 available at http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=fc5f06c5-821f-41d3-a4fe-6c7b56423841&displaylang=en .  This first Service Pack for the WSE 2.0 at a little over 7MB is miraculously 210k smaller than the original!

 

To quote the update notes on it: “This updated version of the Web Services Enhancements 2.0 contains fixes to scalability and functionality based on customer feedback, as well as important security additions.”

 

The best list of the changes (and other things about WSE 2.0) are from Hervey Wilson at http://www.dynamic-cast.com/mt-archives/000060.html

Could you or someone do a sample up that replaces the shared key sample from WSE 1.0. (i.e. both programs know the key, and no other type of authentication is used to decrypt anything)

The samples simply state that it's not longer supported, and then proceed to give no samples of what replaces it. I dont' want to use Windows Authentication, or anything that is dependant on a domain, or machine specific authenticaiton. It has to be application specific because we're talking about a publically rolled out software where the client AND the server are installed on machines that we have no control over, and will not necessarily be in a domain.
