Web Service Access

[Nuno Miguel Santos]

Good afternoon,

I've built an application that interacts with a web service, which in turns contacts a CMS Platform that is integrated with an AD server.

In turn, the web service uses the CMS api to upload/download files and various functionalities.

That's where I want to make sure only the right users (the one that are stored in the AD) use the web service.

If I fetch both the windows user with his domain in my code, and then send it to the web service, will that be enough?

for example: mydomain\nuno

I can't rely on certificates to identify the person because if the application will reside on hundreds of computers, hundreds of certificates would have to be created.

Regards,
Nuno.
