How would I accomplish what Salesforce.com does for logging in with WCF? I would like to have an authentication service that returns a token on a correct login. Then, each set of service calls would pass the token back. I don't want to pass the token on each method call.
What is throwing me is how the session header is part of the binding.
I am also looking for why this is or isn't a good idea. I think it is clean and simple.
Thanks!
// Create service object
binding = new SforceService();
// Invoke the login call and save results in LoginResult
LoginResult lr = binding.login("username","password");
if (!lr.passwordExpired) {
// Reset the SOAP endpoint to the returned server URL
binding.Url = lr.serverUrl;
// Create a new session header object
// Add the session ID returned from the login
binding.SessionHeaderValue = new SessionHeader();
binding.SessionHeaderValue.sessionId = lr.sessionId;
GetUserInfoResult userInfo = lr.userInfo;
} else {
Console.WriteLine("Your password is expired.");
}
