I'm new to ASP.NET :)
I have a WCF web service, and I want to use Basic authentication. I am getting lost in the authentication options:
In IIS 6
Manager, I can go in to the properties of the web site and set authentication options.
In the web site's web.config file, under system.web, there is an <authentication mode="Windows"/> tag
In the web site's web.config file, under system.serviceModel, I can configure:
<wsHttpBinding
<binding name="MyBinding"
<security mode="Transport"
<transport clientCredentialType="Basic"/
</security
</binding
</wsHttpBinding
What is the difference between these three? How should each be configured?
Some context: I have a simple web site project that contains a single .svc web service, and I want it to use Basic authentication over SSL. (Also, I want it to not use Windows accounts, but maybe that is another question.)
