ASP.NET Web Services QuickStart Tutorial

Simple Web Service That Demonstrates the UseDefaultCredentials Feature

When the UseDefaultCredentials property on an instance of a client proxy class is set to true the client will use the default credentials to authenticate to the Web service. For example:

		
UseDefaultCredentialsService service = new UseDefaultCredentialsService();
service.UseDefaultCredentials = true;

Setting the UseDefaultCredentials property to true is equivalent to the following lines of code:

		
service.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;

NOTE: The Web service in this sample must be configured to support integrated Windows authentication to properly demonstrate passing default credentials.
