    <p>I have a WCF HTTP REST Service and I tie into it with an HTTP client in a different programming language who writes its own custom HTTP. I would like to add WWW-Authenticate basic authentication support to my WCF service.</p> <p>My methods look like this:</p> <pre><code>[WebInvoke(UriTemplate = "widgets", Method = "POST")] public XElement CreateWidget(XElement e) { ... } </code></pre> <p>Is it possible for me to somehow filter incoming HTTP requests so I can check for a valid Basic auth string before it hits each of the REST methods like <code>CreateWidget</code> above? Note: My auth info is stord in my database.</p> <p>Basically I want to check for this in the request headers: <code>Authorization: Basic QWxhZGRpbjpvcGVuIHNlc2FtZQ==</code> and then I can myself parse that string and validate the u/p in the database.</p> <p>The web.config file is as follows:</p> <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0"?&gt; &lt;configuration&gt; &lt;connectionStrings&gt; &lt;add name="DatabaseConnectionString" connectionString="Data Source=.\SQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=Database;Integrated Security=True" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" /&gt; &lt;/connectionStrings&gt; &lt;system.web&gt; &lt;compilation debug="true" targetFramework="4.0" /&gt; &lt;httpRuntime maxRequestLength="10485760" /&gt; &lt;/system.web&gt; &lt;system.webServer&gt; &lt;modules runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests="true"&gt; &lt;add name="UrlRoutingModule" type="System.Web.Routing.UrlRoutingModule, System.Web, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a" /&gt; &lt;/modules&gt; &lt;/system.webServer&gt; &lt;system.serviceModel&gt; &lt;serviceHostingEnvironment aspNetCompatibilityEnabled="true" /&gt; &lt;standardEndpoints&gt; &lt;webHttpEndpoint&gt; &lt;standardEndpoint name="" helpEnabled="true" automaticFormatSelectionEnabled="true" maxReceivedMessageSize="1048576" maxBufferSize="1048576" /&gt; &lt;/webHttpEndpoint&gt; &lt;/standardEndpoints&gt; &lt;/system.serviceModel&gt; &lt;/configuration&gt; </code></pre>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
