Hi I am a newbie and my question is very basic.
In Windows authentication I can use Integrated authentication/ Digest/Basic etc. Now, each of them vary depending upon how the userid/password is sent over to webserver. In Integrated it will be encrypted , basic will plain text etc
My question is :
When a client request to webserver. It doesnot know what kind of authentication is being used by webserver. So how client will get to know in which format to send the userid/pasword to webserver ? or client will first send a request to webserver and webserver will respond back and will tell client the format in which it wants the userid/password ? Whats the real thing heppening ? How this communication takes place?
My next question is : If I have placed my webservices to Layouts folder inside "web service extension" folder . Now, When request will hit thi swebservice .. will it contain any user id telling which user sent the reques ...
Go to the complete details ...
