I have written a simple soap client and server using the SoapClient and SoapServer class. I had been setting the ReplyTo address but it seems that the element is ignored.

I am designing a web service using WSE 2.0 that has flexible deployment requirements.

My Webservices are on a remote server, not localhost. Is the WSE2 config tool designed ONLY to work with localhost when creating policies?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think somebody broke something on the SoapEnvelope in SP1.

How can I define a policy that would sign and/or encrypt with a kerberos token or a usernametoken (I am assuming you can sign with a usernametoken, I don't know if that is true).

Hi From what I understand of WSE2.0 and Policy you can declare a service as requiring say a Kerberose token and the .net client will automatically wrap your windows identity in a Kerberose tocken and send it to the server. Is that basically right? I'm not saying this is all policy does :-)...more >>

a general advice: leave the generated classes untouched. if you want to customize the proxy in any way, inherit from the proxy and to your customisation there. use the inherited class in your app to call the webservice. in this way you can modify the proxy behaviour (e.g. reading some va...more >>

Hi, you are right - Windows needs the password in plaintext to impersonate a user (having to call LogonUser, which requires a password). Thinking about it - it is the only way Windows can do it.
