Secure WCF web service under mono

[Piotr Walat]

Hello,
Is it possible to set up a secure web service using current (trunk) mono wcf
implementation? By a secure web service i mean a web service that supports
any authorization and authentication scenario that doesnt require to much
hacking (on server or proxy side)?. If i'd like to use asp.net
membership/role provider to authenticate users is it possible?

To implement SOA architecture in my mono apps i currently am using a
combination of ASP.NET MVC, JSON.NET, SSL (transport level encryption),
basic HTTP authentication + ASP.NET postgresql membership provider. This
stack works well, but requires some effort to set up and doesnt provide a
way to generate proxies automatically (they need to be written manually). I
am looking for an alternative that would provide an easy way of generating
proxies also on Microsoft .NET implementation (silverlight or WPF apps for
example). Will mono-wcf ever provide that?

 From my quick search, it seems a typical ASP.NET role provider scenario
is to use ServiceAuthorizationBehavior. We don't support it.
I'm not sure how it is involved in the entire WCF security stack, but
at least I can say, if it requires secure messaging, then it won't
come soon. WCF security stack is huge and we only have incomplete
work from years ago.
