Authenticate web service once -- dotnet web services

Does anybody have an article on how to secure a web service so that I only
have to log in once and then access all the web services without re-logging
in? I know I've used this before using session variables and some kind of
client cookie. I'm think I'm going to have to do this on a web farm.

Any MSDN articles out there???

Hi Chris,

You can use WSE with message authentication and secure conversation to
enable single sign-on. Take a look to this article in the MSDN,
http://msdn.microsoft.com/practices/default.aspx?pull=/library/en-us/dnpag2/html/wssp.asp
(Direct Authentication scenario).
