Inside a webmethod I want to retrieve the username from the UsernameToken
that is contained in the current SoapContext. With WSE2.0 I could use the
SoapContext.Security member. However with WSE3.0 this property becomes
obsolete. Is there an alternative way to retrieve the current UsernameToken?

Hi HansvL,

Yes, the correct way to do that is the following:

UsernameToken token = RequestSoapContext.Current.IdentityToken as
UsernameToken;
