.asmx authentication Web Service

Hi, i want to have a WebService for  remotely authenticating users  from the MojoPortal User Database.

I was wondering if such a service already exists and if so what is the URL ?

If not, has anyone developed such a service or is there a Authentication class to use with the Service or what would be a good approach to do this.

Thanks

Re: .asmx authentication Web Service

There is not a .asmx service but there is a wcf service for authentication and roles, I was able to use it to authenticate from silverlight quite a while back when I was experimenting with silverlight.

The urls are

http://yoursiteroot/Services/AuthenticationService.svc

and

http://yoursiteroot/Services/RoleService.svc

there are settings in Web.config to require ssl for these.

For documentation just google for "AuthenticationService.svc"

It has been a while since I experimented with it so I forget all the details.

Hope it helps,

Joe

Re: .asmx authentication Web Service

Hi Joe, thanks for your reply. yes it helped a lot i just need to find out how to access it.

btw, if anyone uses this and gets a 

"Could not load file or assembly App_Web..." Error

a solution that worked for me was to Add the batch="false" attribute to the web.config 'compilation' tag :

   <compilation batch="false" />
