WCF Client Server Application with Custom Authentication, Authorization, Encryption and Compression - CodeProject

Introduction to Article

With the appearance of Windows Communication Foundation building Service Oriented Applications became easier than ever. And lots of articles poured in with extensions for special cases. Even so, there are still situations left untreated. Like the following I had to resolve:

- Client-server application – http protocol – NO IIS
- Authentication – user/password from a database – NO SSL/X509 certificate
- Authorization – roles from a database
- Encryption for the credentials (with option for the entire request/response)
- Compression for both the request and response.
