Questions arise about security measures in asp.net (2.0).
Traditionally, I have utilized Forms authentication along with Page.User to verify permissions.
However, I now find myself needing to transfer data from client-side javaScript (jQuery) to a WCF service. Will my IPrincipal still be accessible through the HttpContext of the WCF service (considering that I am hosting my services on the same IIS and domain)?
I am specifically curious if $.Ajax will automatically access the client authentication cookie and assign it to the HttpContext on the server, or if this process needs to be done manually?
Are there any potential issues or concerns to be aware of in this scenario?
Appreciate any insights or advice. Thank you.
