How to authenticate user while calling WCF service using AJAX?

Question

I have a WCF service which needs to be called from client side(ajax call). I want to use ScriptManager on ASPX page to add a ServiceReference to the WCF service (or) JQuery ajax

Answer 1

for WCF web http service The only way to secure a Web endpoint is to expose it through HTTPS, using transport security. When using message-based security, security information is usually placed in SOAP headers and because the messages sent to non-SOAP endpoints contain no SOAP envelope, there is nowhere to place the security information and you must rely on transport security.
