How to assign a custom principal with a custom soap extension

[Michael]

I have created a custom soap extension. What I need to do next is
assign my own custom principal to the current request context so that
the application receiving the request can simply access the identity
object and perform authorization checks.

How can I assign the custom principal.identity during the
ProcessMessage call into my custom soap extension?

Is the Processmessage call the right place to do this??

TIA,
Michael

Any reason not to use use WS-Security and custom PasswordProvider to
authenticate the user.

In your custom PasswordProvider provide class - you could set the security
principal in GetPassword method. In this way you can handle Authentication
and Authorization in the same place neatly.
