Can we use .Net Ria Securtity services with DevForce?

Instead of using DevForce security, can we use RIA Services security to control DevForce service operation by using RequiresAuthenticationAttribute and RequiresRolesAttribute attributes from RIA Services?

Thanks!

Hi Kim;

Thank you for the reply; As you may know, SL lives inside of an ASP.Net paqe and works very closely with IIS and ASP.Net server for it's communication and MS basically uses this infrastructure to facilitate SL the extra features it needs, i.e. the security that is already in place in it's host (ASP.Net). And that's why MS has created these Security services in .Net Ria to leverage on the system that's already in place. The security system that's part of DevForce currently, is for Windows client and the SL client that lives in ASP.Net pages, need to use the existing security that's is already in place in those ASP.Net web site. So, I don't think you can convince too many people to change course and use and implement a different security system than they alreay have.

I think DevForce should use the validation and security of Ria Services and offer it's own data transportation. Otherwise, this can be a deal breaker for many.

My 2 cents!

Kim, would it be possible to ask the team, what time frame are they looking at to support Ria Service for ASP.Net? I ask this, because I like to know if I can postpone the security and work on the data section first.

Thank you in advance!

Thanks Kim; I'll wait till Ward gets back from his trip and discuss with him;
