I'd say that this would be a matter of design. Personally, I'd opt for the company to have a username and password, which you'd verify through some sort of login call through SOAP. Maintain the valid username (or a boolean, or whatever you choose) on your side, checking for a valid value as needed.

However, will the session be established for the server that is accessing services or the client that comes to that server and using services provided by me. If a bit confusing, here is an example. Lets say I compiled a largest database of DVDs and established web services to access this information. Now here comes, lets say dvdnow.com and signs up with me to offer information access to his clients. What will happened now? There will be one session for dvdnow.com or each time a client comes to their site and uses services there will be a session opened for him? Thank you for taking the time to answer my post.
