Authentication for Web Services

[Forch]

Hi guys....

I have a web service enabled which only allows a fixed number of users
access. From another application which uses this service as a web
reference, I need to programatically set the username and password for the
user who will access the web service from the remote machine.

I'm sure that there is an easy way to do this. Can anyone lead me in the
right direction?

Thanks!

Mark

Dim webMethod as WebMethodReference

Dim oCreds as New NetwordCredential()
With oCreds
.UserName = "user name here"
.Password = "password here"
.Domain = "domain name here"
End With

webMethod.Credentials = oCreds

on the other hand, if you simply want to pass the credentials of the
user...then you can use:

webMethod.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials
