WCF - Validation of the Service to the Client

Question

Hi there,

Imagine a self hosted WCF service, and a client that connects via a proxy.

Is it possible to implement custom validation of service credentials from within the client? i.e. Is it possible to validate the custom service user name and password? It's very easy to set up custom validation of client credentials in a service host but I'm not sure if it's possible to do it the other way around.

Thanks for reading.

Chris.

Answer 1

I think I can achieve what I'm after by customising the service identity and validating that at the client.
