Chris Williams” INETA Website Marketing committee Chair

Community Cheerleading

Just noticed this on Jason Olson’s blog. Not being tightly associated with INETA, any more it’s been difficult to keep up with the frequent board and committee changes that have occurred since the [nearly] total board changeover in June. I’m not quite sure what a “Website Marketing” committee does (I know there was a Marketing committee and an Infrastructure (aka website) committee … perhaps they have merged), but I know that whatever Chris and Jason are working on, they bring great energy to the table!

Confession – I’m still running vs2005 on a separate box

Just Rambling

I know I know. I have told many people that you can run vs2003 and vs2005 side by side. But I have this honker application to port and I don’t want to do it on the same machine where I need to be able to get at it (in vs2003) in emergencies. Plus I wanted everything super clean. The solution has many many assemblies and references a lot of 3rd party tools. Plus I had to move everything from WSE 2.0 to WSE 3.0. Too much for side by side if you ask me. Some of those 3rd party tools will be getting upgraded, like Janusys (finally moving to 2.0) and others.

So for the time being, I have taken my beautiful dual monitor setup and dedicated one screen to my other computer (until I find a solution as sweet as my VGA KVM cables that will work on DVI and isn’t a $200 switchbox). I’m still feeling the dual monitor vibe though. I’m coding on one screen and emailing, etc. on the other.

I could do this as VPC, but I had a whole computer just sitting there…begging for new bits!

WSE3.0 and SoapContext.Security (obsolete)

WSE

In WSE2.0, the recommended way to do authorization, was to attach a principal with role information to a SecurityToken in a custom UsernameToken manager (which you would be using to authenticate against anything but A.D.). Then in your web method, you can just get at that principal by returning the Context.Security.Tokens from the RequestContext. But that is now obsolete. In fact if you use it, you will get a warning that SoapContext.Security is obsolete and to write a custom filter instead.

However the samples and the documentation in WSE 3.0 still show the old method. So, I’m not a Michele or Benjamin or William or Clemens or Christian. And most people using this stuff aren’t (cause those guys have all moved on to INdigo, but I have a live app that needs ws security…). Now what?

I guess I am going to learn how to use filters today. (so much for my fantasy of cutting out for 2 hours after lunch to go skiing because we got about 4 inches of new snow last night. whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa)
