Web Service Enhancements AKA WSE2 provide a real framework for security and interop with .Net web services. We have taken a quantum leap in security by using WSE2 at iTOK.
When you’re developing those web services, make sure you only enable tracing if ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY and for short periods in development.
I had enabled tracing to use the WS Trace tool by Simon Guest (which is fantastic) – however when I left a client running overnight against my dev server everything slowed to a crawl. ASP worker process took up over 300Meg of RAM too… WTF?! I thought… took a while to realize but the logs were slowing down the whole PC, specifically the asp.net worker process and as soon as tracing was disabled everything was peachy. Not surprising really but something to look out for all the same.
