    WCF consumed by {JSON + ASP.NET} - Authentication, form or Windows?

    hello

    I have a WCF service to be consumed by both:

    Code:
    Consumer #1
    ASP.NET - ASP.NET app uses form-authentication and impersonate a Windows user account WEBUSER. This is a web user account but by and large it works fine as the intention is to tighten the security. So ...

    web.config of the ASP.NET app:
    Code:
    <authentication mode="Forms">
    <forms
    name="GenericOMS_auth"
    loginUrl="LoginForm.aspx"
    protection="All"
    timeout="30"
    path="/" />
    </authentication>
    
    <identity impersonate="true"
    userName="MyBox\WEBUSER"
    password="SomeSecret" />
    And in web.config of WCF Service hosted in IIS:

    Code:
    <authentication mode="Windows"/>
    Works fine.

    Consumer #2 JSON/AJAX all from web page in ASP.NET (Consumer #1)

    Now, I added webpage to ASP.NET app that makes AJAX/JSON calls to the WCF Service. I'm not sure what to do in web.config of my WCF Service . Clients viewing the webpage are not always domain users (and we wouldn't want to tie down to this model anyway).


    FYI, in WCF web.config, I've added:
    Code:
    <serviceHostingEnvironment aspNetCompatibilityEnabled="true" />
    ...
    <endpoint address="JSON" behaviorConfiguration="JSONBehavior"
    binding="webHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="" name="JSON"
    contract="xxx.SecurityServiceLib.ISecurityService" />
    ...
    <endpointBehaviors>
    <behavior name="JSONBehavior">
    <enableWebScript />
    </behavior>
    </endpointBehaviors>
    I suppose this would suffice for AJAX post/get to include forms-authentication cookie when invoke WCF right?

    Any suggestion? Thanks!
