How to call a web service using NT Authentication from Web Service

[John Lee]

Hi,

I have two web services and they are setup as "Integrated Windows
Authentication" only and they are both assigned to application pool with
Domain Account.

I can use ws.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
(ws is a web service proxy request instance) to call the web service BUT
this method does not work if I want to call another web service from one web
service.

I guess the DefaultCredentials does not have anything because there is no
logon involved? So How could I call another web service from one web service
using NTLM?

Thanks a lot!
John

Hi John,

Thanks for your posting. Regarding on this post, I've also found your
another thread in this group
"How to call a web service using NT Authentication"
which is focus on calling webservice from winform client and I've posted
my reply there. And I've also mentioned the asp.net client scenario there
also.

Also, based on my local test when use the

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

the DefaultCredentials will represent the asp.net's process identity (if
not using the impersonate) and it works well. Not sure what's the problem
on your side, are you still recieving 401 access denied?

In addition, I've also mentioned how to programly create a NTLM
networkCredential and pass it to the webservice client proxy, here is the
code snippet:
===================
MyService.MyService ms = new MyService.MyService();

System.Net.NetworkCredential nc = new
System.Net.NetworkCredential("username","password" ,"domainame");
System.Net.CredentialCache cc = new System.Net.CredentialCache();
cc.Add(new Uri(ms.Url),"NTLM",nc);
ms.Credentials = cc;

ms.Execute("dfdsfds");
=====================

If there is any other questions, please feel free to post here or in that
thread. Thanks.
