I’m looking for a complete step-by-step guide or a sample project about implementing a RESTful Service using .NET 4.0 using Custom Basic Authentication over HTTPS hosted in IIS.
I’ve been googling about it for 3 days and I could only find either an implementation with WCF 3.5 which is very different, or without Custom Basic Authentication, or without SSL.
Basically I implemented my REST service on WCF 4, and added SSL, but I can’t use a custom authentication using my custom users database.
Any references would be really appreciated.
It is possible with custom HTTP module allowing basic authentication against custom credential store. Built-in module in IIS supports only windows accounts.
