Web Service Authentication

[mazdotnet]

Hi guys,

I'm writing a web service and I don't know how I can secure it by
forcing our clients to use a username/password. I've used SalesForce a
lot and they ask for a username/password once and any subsequent calls
you don't need to authenticate anymore. How can this be done in
asp.net (C#)?

Ex.I make a call

result = Object.Connect (username, password)
all my other calls I would send result in the method???

Thank you
M.

this is usually done by having a login method that returns a token. this
token is then a parameter to all other calls.
