Hello,

for my thesis, I'm programming a Web Service, where the security aspect is
very important. One security issue that I provide is digital sigatures.

Now I want to write every incomming SOAP message to the Web Service to a
file, and if the message is signed, store it, otherwise delete it. In this
way, I have a proof that a user has send that message to the Web Service.

The problem is that I don't know how I can write or read incomming SOAP
messages. I heard that .NET supports filters for it, but I don't know how to
use them or where to find them.

Can someone help me with this?

A second question: my Web Service is hosted on the localhost. If you create
a file in a Web Service, where does the Web Service stores it?

Certificates are not done at the SOAP level, but the HTTP level. You can
access the HTTP headers/properties though.

Wherever you put it.

This tutorial speaks of signing SOAP messages, and I use this tutorial in my
project. And it is this message that is send, that I want to write to a file.

And for the second question:

Lets say my Web Service is called TestService. In TestService I create a
file "tenders.xml"

When I'm finished with my program, I went to:

c:\Inetpub\wwwroot\TestService

and looked for the file, but didn't found it. So I have no clue where the
Web Service wrote it! The file was created, because it was send back to the
client as a XmlNode, but I also need to see the file "physically".

Sorry I misudnerstood you. There are also SSL certificates that are more
commonly used.

You *always* have to specify a path. You cannot assume what the current
directory is. It likely did save the file, just somewhere else on your
system.
