Description
In this Article we are going to use SOAP Header to authenticate the WebService users. Let's consider a WebService that allows consumers to get the order details based on order ID (which they placed from the web). This article based on RC1 version. To call this webservice client will passes RagavanID through SOAP Header. This RagavanID will validated inside the WebMehtod when clients Invokes it.
First we will create the class name called UserAuthInfo this class must Inherits from SoapHeader class.
public class UserAuthInfo: SoapHeader
{
public int RagavanID ;
}
Here int variable RagavanID is used for to check the valid WebSerivce Consumer.

Output with Correct ID
