Remarks

Apply the SoapActorAttribute attribute to a class that implements a Web service to specify the SOAP actor of the Web service, which is by default the URI that the Web service is listening on. When WSE receives a SOAP message, it verifies that the value of the <wsa:To> SOAP header matches the SOAP actor. To disable this check, set the Actor property to *.

When a Web service is hosted in a Web farm that uses one URI for the load balancer and a different URI for the individual computers in the Web farm, disabling this check is necessary. For example, when SSL is used to access a Web farm, the URI to access the hardware load balancer typically uses the https scheme, whereas the URIs for the individual members of the Web farm use a URI with an http scheme. In this scenario, apply a SoapActorAttribute attribute to the class implementing the Web service and set the Actor property to *.

The SoapActorAttribute can be applied to a class that is hosted by ASP.NET (ASMX) or a class that derives from SoapService.
