Why do you say this does not work?

-----------------------

Because when I execute:

sendmailproxy.S endEmailRequest (sendmail);

I get:

System.Net.WebE xception from System.Web.Serv ices

The request failed with HTTP status 401: Unauthorized.
Remember, this web service that I am using is a produced locally at
the company where I work, and I have access to their developers. Is
there some [web attribute] or something on their end that they need to
enable or disable?

Thanks

Also,

On my computer System.Net.Cred entialCache.Def aultCredentials is
System.Net.Netw orkCredential in which all three (3) fields are
System.String.E mpty:

1. Domain
2. Password
3. UserName

Do I need to configure something on my computer to get data populated
into these three fields?

BTW, I would expect the Password field to be encrypted; otherwise a
user application can get the password and save it to a database or
something.

Did you set the Credentials property of your web service proxy to
DefaultCredenti als? I assume you did this, but your code didn't show it, so
thought I'd ask.

If you did that and it still fails, then the next thing to do would be to
examine the security event log on the remote server you are contacting and
find out what happened with the authentication. You would want to make sure
they have auditing enabled for logon events (success and failure) so you can
see what credentials it attempted to use when you logged in.

This also assumes that there is some sort of a trust relationship between
the user executing the local code and the remote server (same domain, etc.).

Hi,

additionally to what Joe wrote... does the WebService accept NTLM or
Kerberos authentication? If only basic authentication is enabled, the
default credentials cannot be used.

Kind regards,
Henning Krause
