Full XP Authentication

Question

Hi

I am developing a self-host WCF application on a XP embedded SP3 (not 2009). I have included the Winlogon and I thought that would give me the full securtiy system of XPE; But I can't cannct a cient which is required to authenticate against the server. I get an exception "the message or signature supplied for verification has been altered". The client can connect to the same server application runnning on a XP proffesional.

On checking the services, I saw IPSec service could not be started because of an error "Authorization is unknown".

The XPE is running in a workgroup, but I have disabled Simple Filesharing to enforce authentication.

Can anyone help? seems like I am missing some components

Regards

Alan

Hi

I have fixed this myself.

Apparently adding WinLogOn is not enough. More components are needed depending on the needs. See details:

Also:

1. Simple File sharing must be disabled.

2. Server and client clocks must be in sync.
