CRM 2011 - On Premise.

I want to create a WCF service which will be called by an ASP page. The WCF service will get some data from CRM and return those values.

I will also have some plugins which will connect to a WCF service to push some of the data/results to them.

Finally I want to call a my WCF service from Javascript

It's an internal web application and the CRM is not internet facing in any way.

What is the best practice for authentication.

CRM Javascript to MY WCF service

My WCF Service to Customer WCF service

Customer WCF Service to My WCF Service

I was thinking of using windows authentication and for connecting to the customer WCF, storing username and password in some CRM fields and encrypting those values.

Does anyone have any ideas/links on best practices for this?

Ben,

Interesting question - curious to know the path you take.

I would agree using windows authentication.

Outside authentication, wondering if you can point me to any documentation to achieve the use case you are doing. (WCF/get data/ etc.,)
