Login Silverlight Website

Question

Wich is the best (and safest) way to implement user login for a silverlight application?

Answer 1

It depends on where your authentication logic resides. If you store your data on a server and you communicate with it via RIA services, then you have access to a built in authentication framework. Here is an example.

If you do communication via plain WCF, then you can still do authentication over WCF in many ways.

Example of using Windows Authentication over WCF: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd744835(v=VS.95).aspx

For your question: best and safest....Both are good for either server-communication method you use. If these don't seem best to you, you can always write your own security.
