IIS & Windows Integrated Security for WCF webservices

Hi all,

I have searched everywhere to get a straight forward answer to my question
but to no avail. I hope someone where can help.

I have a windows application that needs to talk to some WCF web services
hosted in IIS. I want to be able to identify the user in the webservice who
initiated the call. All client requests to the service will be made by
computers authenticated by our AD. I don't use SSL on the server as all
requests are internal.

This was easy in the case of an ASP.Net page - just disable anonymous access
and enable Windows Integrated Security and all works.

But for WCF I can't get it to work :-( , so my questions are:
- what do I have to put in the client and server configs for AD security
credentials to work?
- how can I find out the credentials of the user making the call?

Thanks in advance.
