Common WSE Kerberos Problem

mattpo — Thu, 09 Mar 2006 00:02:00 GMT

Mark Fussell discusses a common problem when using WSE 3.0 and Kerberos security. He answers the following question:

I need advice with WSE 3.0 and implementing a web service that requires a Kerberos token. It seems that my simple web service and Windows client should be straight-forward but I’m not able to get past the error “Security requirements are not satisfied because the security header is not present in the incoming message."

Are you ready for Launch?

mattpo — Fri, 14 Oct 2005 03:12:00 GMT

At MSDN, we are frantic about getting ready for the upcoming launch of Visual Studio 2005, SQL 2005 and Biztalk 2006. The launch events are being organized, the VPs are all getting in line, Steve is preparing for the keynote, we are revamping the MSDN homepage, our developer centers, scrubbing our beta content, building new content and getting all the ducks in line to support what could be called the largest developer tools launch in Microsoft history. There are a bunch of people from a bunch of different areas in the company and around the world, all testing their abilities to work together as a tight team.

Sometimes, I think there is no way that MSDN can pull off what we need to do. Sometimes I'm giddy about our efforts. At the moment I'm giddy.

We'll see where I am tomorrow. :-)

PDC Presentation Materials

mattpo — Wed, 21 Sep 2005 07:13:00 GMT

If you didn't make it down to PDC in Los Angeles, or if you did and would still like to see the final slides and/or sample code from the presentations, head over the public Commnet web site (Commnet is the event Web site that is usually only accessible to attendees -- but not this year). Although it asks you to sign-in with your Microsoft Passport, it is not required. Here's a link straight to the session download page.

It's Starting to Get Exciting...

mattpo — Fri, 26 Aug 2005 23:31:00 GMT

It's always fun to see how Microsoft gears up for the PDC. Here at MSDN we are scrambling like mad to stay on top of all the different technologies that are being announced and have content around them that need to be published simultaneously with one or another keynote. I'll be heading down to LA myself on Monday, the day before official day 1 (They are doing some very cool pre-con sessions Monday too). I'm hoping all our preperations will have paid off and we will just have to push a button or two by that time to get everything live.

I'll be spending a lot of time in the Indigo, I mean Windows Communication Foundation, cabana so make plans on stopping by and saying hi. If you want to talk about MSDN and the content we publish, we can talk about that too.

Hope to see you there. If you aren't going, follow what's happening at the PDC on MSDN. You won't want to miss it.
