Can anyone provide some links to good information on setting up Silverlight 2.0 to authenticate to a WCF Service through ASP.NET Forms Authentication?

Answer 2

Here's a good place to get started. The technology that allows you to use ASP.NET Forms Auth in SL2 is called ASP.NET Application Services - it's easy to use.

Answer 3

Kevin Rohling put together a great walk through for doing ws-security with SL 2 a little while back. You could probably plug your logic into the hooks in his example. Check it out here: http://geekswithblogs.net/SunnyCoder/archive/2009/03/15/username-password-amp-ws-security-with-silverlight.aspx
