I want my silverlight application to use windows authentication so the user does not have to log in and I can use that to identify them.
One issue has come up though.
I have a set of super secret web services that do not have access to authenticate the user. What can I do to make sure that calls coming from the silverlight application are actually allowed? Do I need a certificate or something?
OK. A client certificate is probably what you need.

And then keep close control of the certificate. Your web service and your Silverlight app should be the only things with access to the certificate.
