Monitoring a .Net application using Microsoft WCF WS* security

Hi,

I am looking at the options available to monitor an application that encrypts its communications with WCF WS*. The application architecture is as follows:

My question is this: Would I experience any problems monitoring these WCF requests, or would the dynaTrace agent on the application server be able to see them?

Thanks,
Derick

Hi Derick

You should not encounter any problems as dynaTrace traces WCF calls regardless the actual transportation channel that is used with all its "flavors" of security/encryption/compression.

You can easily analyze your WCF calls through the Remoting Dashlet which shows you all calls done through remoting technologies such as WCF or .NET Remoting

Hope this helps
