dotnet web services enhancements : SCT and certificates questions

Hi,
I have 2 questions regarding WSE 3.0:
1) Using sct with asp.net application as client - I implemented sct with an
asp.net web application as a client. I can see in the trace files that the
element <wst:RequestSecurityToken> gets created each time I invoke the
specific web method with the sct. Even if I save the proxy in session it’s
being created each method call.

2) Certificates private key caching - does the WSE cache the certificate keys?
I had a problem in which I needed to add the Network Services for ntfs
permissions on a certificate private key. I had to restart iis in order for
the WSE to except the changes I've made.

Can anyone explain this behavior?

Thanks

Yoav

Hi YC,

1. That is strange, if you reuse the same proxy instance, the
RequestSecurityToken message should be sent once. Have you tried to reuse
the SCT ?. This article in my blog describes how to do that,

2. Yes, WSE keeps the certificates in a cache for performance reasons.
