how to add "Authorization: Basic" for a web service call

[Ottavio]

Hello,
I'm having some problems with the authentication during a web service
call
I know I have to add the "Authorization: Basic xxxxxxxx" in the http
header (not soap header) but I can't find a way to add it.
I've tryed to use ethereal to watch what I'm sending and I can see all
the header
(Accept-Language,Accept-Encoding,User-Agent,Host,Connection,..) and the
SOAP xml message but there is no "Authorization: Basic ......" at all.
Could someone help me?
This is the [partial] code I'm using:

namespace WCM
{
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
public Form1(){InitializeComponent();}
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
//WSDL web reference: WebRef
//WebService: Service
WebRef.ServiceTTService = new WCM.WebRef.Service();
NetworkCredential remoteCredentials = new NetworkCredential("a",
"b");
TTService.Credentials = remoteCredentials;
WebRef.TTRequestType TTRequest = new WCM.WebRef.TTRequestType();
TTRequest.param="param";
WebRef.TTRespType TTResponse = new WCM.WebRef.TTRespType();
TTResponse = TTService.TTRequestMethod(TTRequest);
//ERROR ON THE PREVIOUS LINE:
//"The request failed with HTTP status 403: Service Error."
MessageBox.Show("DONE!");
}
}
}

Thank you in advance!

Hi Ottavio,

First of all, the virtual directory where the service is hosted must not
accept anonymous access (If it does, the client application never sends the
username and password, it always prefer to be anonymous).
Finally, you have to use the following code to add the username and password
(Basic Authentication):

// Create Web Service object.
MyService myserv = new MyService() ;

// Create credentials object.
NetworkCredential objCredential =
new NetworkCredential("user", "password", "yourdomain") ;

// Let Web Service know about your credentials.
myserv.Credentials = objCredential ;

// Call method on Web Service.
myserv.HelloWorld();

Regards,
Pablo.

The code I'm using is the same but I'm getting the error on the
"myserv.HelloWorld()"-like line.
Maybe I'm using it in the wrong way:
1- I was provided of username and password (no domain) as network
credential
2- the WSDL I have to use has been sent to me by e-mail, I have no
http:/...?WSDL address
3- I saved the WSDL in a folder in my server C:\...\WSDL\name.wsdl
4- I added the web-reference pointing to the local file
C:\...\WSDL\name.wsdl
You were talking about "virtual directory where the service is
hosted"...have I missed something?
Thank you,
Ottavio
