One of the biggest problems (if you can call it that) is that WCF is configured to be very secure by default. Because our application was entirely within a secure network, we did not want to have to bother with a lot of complicated certificates.

We based our implementation off of <a href="http://webservices20.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Yaron Naveh's</a> <a href="http://code.google.com/p/wcf-clear-username-binding/" rel="nofollow">Clear Username Binding</a>.
