hi all,

We've been facing a difficult task that we need some wise advices
from other professional indeed.
Our client want before calling the webservice from 1 webserver, for
instance A, we must go through an authenticated web page on webserver
B which requires to input user name, password, then if valid, that
webpage auto redirect to our web service.
More in detail:
we need call http://A/WebService/WebService.asmx
it jumps to http://B/authentication/authentication, a HTML page here
for inputting user name, password. Then if OK, it redirect to our
webservice. We've checked by IE already.
So, the problem is how can we fulfill this task in PocketPC ???


Any help would be very appreciated.

If I understand what you're asking (and I'm not sure I do), I think you'd
do this on the servers, not on the client? The fact that your client is a
PPC might not have anything to do with it?
 
My understanding from what you wrote is like this.

Your client thinks that the web services don't have security
mechanism, so he wants you to go to a web page for security purposes.

On the contrary, web services provide a very good security mechanism,
very much like a ASP.Net web application. You just have to pass on the
credentials along with your request.

May be you should convince the client accordingly.
