Hi!
I have a webservice which sends username and password as text (it has a webmethod that accepts username&pwd as parameter)
Which is the easiest way to make this encrypted?

Hmm...why do you need encryption?
Why does your web service pass the users password back? This should never be done really as there should never be a need to do this.
I would encrypt the password if you really want to go down this method.

Use the HTTPS protocol. Since webservices pass data back as XML, you really can only secure the transport, not the contents.

Thanks m8!
I pass username and password as part of ldap authentication process...
I have also checked the WSE encryption, but it was not easy to get started with (i thought)... I will try SSL
