How authentication in general (mutual authentication as a special case) works in MSDTC and how to configure mutual authentication in MSDTC ??
I have a custom application (archive solution), a Windows service that retrieves data from an online database and dumps into archive databases according to the configured time (ideal online and internal servers are on different machines).
I use TransactionScope and configured DTC on the client and host machine without authentication, and it works fine. However, our client requires that we do not use authentication mode and do not use authentication for MSDTC. I decided to use mutual authentication, although I'm not very sure how this works and how to configure it? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
