There seem to be a lot of resources on how to do this, but I really could not find anything to do exactly what I want to do. I am trying to create a WCF web service that will require users to authenticate in order to be able to do anything (calling methods, see WSDL, etc.). Authentication will be the custom part that I would write to connect to our LDAP server. I would like to use authentication in the form, since I do not want the client to have to re-authenticate for each request. I would like the service to just send the Forms Auth cookie to the client, which the client can send back for future requests (I’m fine if you do this for client environments that do not support cookies, for example, a mobile application).However, on the service side, I need to be able to store repository data for each user who stores a cached copy of user authentication groups (to avoid repeated calls to the LDAP server), which could be easily found using only the Ticket form. I am new to WCF and Forms Authentication, so I would appreciate it if you hadn't missed the “simple” things. Thank!
