Hello

how about clients providing their IDs (any unique id -e.g. email etc) and
once you have those credentials you can always identify the calling client
and their Dir mappings...



best regards,

Hello,
Well its something you suggesting me that after authentication i better
return a session id to the client and later to each call to webservice i
validate that session id and perform the action ? Can you point me some
example of WS-SecureConversation of WSE that is doing the same stuff or some
other example code ?
