Anyone tried encrypting soap messages with WS-Security yet?

Wednesday, April 28, 2004

The security guys here also banned access to the soap chat server I set up on the Internet to be able to chat with my old pals... correct, they don't allow Messenger or any other chat-programs. I know I'm not allowed to do chat-stuff over the Internet according to the IT-rules here, but gaaaaahhh!!! I must be able to chat a little with my friends, my mailbox is flooding as it is already!

I'm thinking of moving my chat Web Service (which is already protected by userid and password in a SOAP header) to another location and encrypting the messages. How hard can it be in .NET?

Yes, it's very easy to implement, and very well documented.

Watch also for the upcoming 2.0 release, in the next months...

Answer: Not hard at all. In fact, it's soooooooo simple to do this with WSE. :-)
