I am writing an InfoPath application that will consume a web service
over the internet. The communication must be secure, and the user must
be authenticated in some way. My question is how to accomplish this.
My first thought is to use WSE, but I can't find out how to make
InfoPath do this. There was an MVP post on this group a couple of
years ago that suggested installing a .NET class on the client which
would handle the client side of WSE, then writing the InfoPath form to
use that class rather than the web service directly. Is that still the
state of the art?
Another possibility is to use SSL. Is this a preferred approach? How
do I make an InfoPath form use a particular certificate from the
client's certificate store? (Is that even the right question to
ask?)
Any other ideas?
