How to use IDispatchMessageInspector in a WCF Service?

Question

I am trying to use IDispatchMessageInspector in a WCF service implementation to access custom header values.

Something like:

public class MyService :         


        

Answer 1

What I did to access the details I set the following inside IDispatchMessageInspector.AfterReceiveRequest

Thread.CurrentPrincipal = new GenericPrincipal(new GenericIdentity(username, "Membership Provider"), roles);

I've omitted the authentication code from this.

To access the value from the service method, you can call

Thread.CurrentPrincipal.Identity.Name
