ASP.NET Web Site + Windows Forms App + WCF Service: Client Credentials

Let’s say that I’m considering designing a WCF service whose primary purpose is to provide broad services that can be used by three disparate applications: a public-facing Web site, an internal Windows Forms application, and a wireless mobile device. The purpose of the service is twofold: (1) to consolidate code related to business processes in a central location and (2) to lock down access to the legacy database, finally and once and for all hiding it behind one suite of services.

ASP.NET to WordPress SSO with HttpWebRequest

I am attempting to create a single sign on experience between an asp.net site and a wordpress site using a simple form POST method. I have built a simple php page that uses the native wordpress functions wp_insert_user and wp_signon to create user account in the mysql db and sign them in. In my asp.net ‘create new user’ page code behind, I’m using the post method of an HttpWebRequest to send the required information to the php page.
