Accessing Webservices with a WinForm App - Issues

[carolus.holman]

I have set <identity impersonate="true" /> on my webservice, and created a
proxy user Credential cache in my Winform App inorder to access the service
running on Server 2003. What my issue is:

I have to grant the User defined in my credential cache administrator access
for this to work.
If I create low rights user I get 401 unauthorized exceptions. Even though
the source folder has r/w access by everyone.
If I use the regular CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials and remove my
Administrator rights (on the server) it also fails.

what I would like to do is create a low-rights user to create a proxy to the
webservice. Is this the correct way? I basically followed the Creating a
Distributed Application Walkthrough.

Thanks.

Maybe you should disallow anonymous access to the application, and allow
only the Integrated Windows Authentication

Anonymous access is Disallowed. I still need to be an Administrator.

Hello carolus.holman,
I dint quite follow what you wanted to achieve. You want to create a
proxy to the web service? If thats what you want try using something like
DynWsLib [0].
