Custom Password Validation for HTTP

Phil Henning has written about creating a custom username/password validator for HTTP, which is another new feature in Orcas. Like getting access to client IP addresses, creating a custom password validator is a feature added as a result of direct customer feedback. In fact, the two features were added during the same week and were among the last features we did in Orcas for messaging. Before Orcas you could only create a custom password validator if you were using message security.

  Unless of course you faked message security ;)  Jumping through those hoops to get us working behind an ssl offload hardware load balancer was a pain :) Good to know this is available in '2008 without having to roll any of your own goop.  Thanks!
