Web Services over https (SSL)

We are using the Alfresco Community edition 4 and we really like all the functionality that Alfresco brings. We are considering moving to the paid version of Alfresco. However, we have run into an issue that is a definite deal breaker. Our team (we are all developers) is having a very difficult time

Have you tried to use the same C# implementation using HTTP?
I suggest to test it on HTTP and then try to use HTTPS.

If you have problems using HTTP then it means that probably you have to implement the WS-Security SOAP header for the UsernameToken that must be coded by yourself in order to work on Alfresco, as any other Web Services applications:

Alfresco provides a complete Java Web Service client that it could be used to take a look at the code and then try to understand how to set the UsernameToken in C# converting the code from Java to C#.

Hope this helps.

Thank you. Your suggestions pointed us in the right direction and now everything is working. Everything had to do with the WS-Security SOAP header for the UsernameToken as you indicated.
