How do I configure DSML Services for Windows to make it secure?
DSML Services for Windows uses IIS for security. Per the DSML V2 specification, DSML Services for Windows does not have its own security model and assumes that authentication happens out-of-band and before DSML Services for Windows processes requests.
Which object model can I use to access DSML Services for Windows?
You can use any object model or API sets that allow you to transmit an HTTP request and receive an HTTP response, for example, the IXmlHttpRequest API call. DSML Services for Windows does not have a specific object model that transmits and receives the DSML payload over SOAP, and then translates the DSML response back to the object model. In the future, Microsoft might develop a client-side object model that is specific to DSML V2, but one does not exist at the current time.
