Lately I’ve been having a lot of fun architecting and developing a Silverlight project at work that uses WCF to communicate with a backend CMS system. One of the challenges however, was coming up with a reusable, maintainable, and extensible means of applying security to the WCF services. My solution just happens to be the topic of this post.

In Part 1 we laid the foundation of our Silverlight/Prism solution by setting up the following projects: Prism.Framework.Api, Prism.Framework.Web.Shell, Prism.Framework.Web. In Part 2 we’re going to pick up where we left off and configure our Prism.Framework.Web.Shell project for use with the Prism framework. Before we begin, let’s quickly review the prerequisites.

In order to get a jump start on the series, I thought it’d be a good idea to get the “setup” post done and out of the way. So without further ado… Prerequisites In order to follow along with this post and series, I assume the following: You’re familiar with the Prism guidance concepts and understand why you would use it to...
