silverlight WCF with NTLM/kerberos authentication

silverlight WCF with NTLM/kerberos authentication

Hi All,

we have implemented an app using silverlight and wcf. we are using STS-secure token service for authentication which is working fine. now we want to implement NTLM/kerberos authentication along with STS.

is it possible to do this ? if yes then how ? what are the configuarations need to be done ?

After doing configuration according to this, i got a popup windows asking for username/password. This popup comes 3 times and after that i am getting an error like :

"The remote server returned an unexpected response: (401) Unauthorized. In Silverlight, a 404 response code may be reported even when the service sends a different error code."

Any help would be greately appriciated.

Thanks

Hi,

Please refer to this post: http://forums.silverlight.net/t/161024.aspx

The answer is YES, you can use kerberos authentication with Silverlight 4. You can host the Silverlight project on an asp.net project and secure the asp.net project with Windows, NTLM, or Kerberos authentication.

For configuration, please have an look at the links that post provided, or you can refer to:
