hey buddy, the truth hurts.

are BizTalk and InfoPath in diametric opposition regarding web authentication and authorization?

scratching my head for the past few days...

in our current SOA migration, i am running into an intrestring quandry. take a composable web service, GetStatusReports. so just how can i provide a suitable authentication and authorization schemes that agree with InfoPath AND BizTalk, where both are consumers of this service?

InfoPath:

Supports Integrated Windows Authentication

Lacks Web Service Extensions (WSE 2.0)

Custom authentication may not be suitable, as there is no secure place to store credentials.

 

BizTalk:

Supports Web Service Extensions (WSE 2.0) with a microsoft-supported adapter

Lacks Integrated Windows Authentication (as far as i can tell, 401 forbidden returned if anonymous disallowed)

Custom authentication may be suitable.

 

What other options have i missed? Right now, I can only run the service under ASP.NET impersonation with a domain user account.
