Impersonation in WCF

4
I need to pass specific user credentials to a .svc so it can be used to open a server.

The code in my .svc is as follows

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. [OperationBehavior(Impersonation = ImpersonationOption.Required)]
  2.        public string OpenServer()
  3.         {
  4. RFCOMAPILib.FaxServer objFaxServer;
  5.                 NameValueCollection appSettings =   ConfigurationManager.AppSettings;
  6.                 sFAXServerName = appSettings["FAXServer"];
  7.  
  8. objFaxServer.OpenServer();
  9.         }
When I run it from the client I get access denied. How can I pass a specific user name and password from the client to the .svc to be used to open the server connection?

Thanks

Have you seen this Microsoft MSDN article on Delegation and impersonation with WCF?
Or this article on How to:Impersonate a Client on a Service?
