Authentication options in a scenario, where a silverlight application is calling a self-hosted wcf service

Question

Our system consists of a self-hosted (non-IIS) WCF service and an Asp.net website which hosts a Silverlight application. The application is supposed to do pretty much everything

Answer 1

Has anyone tried this with Silverlight 3? I have a similar situation, and want to implement authentication using message headers (I definately don't want to use ASP.Net cookies) but the solution given here seems to be outdated (doesn't compile correctly with SL3). I'm about to try find and fix the errors, was just hoping someone may either have a fixed example, or perhaps a better solution?

Seems to me like whenever anyone asks about authentication with SL and WCF, the standard solution is RIA services and ASP.Net Forms Auth built into the web site, I'm hoping for a slightly better answer :-)
