Security on Webservice?

I want to create a webservice where the user (the one accessing the webservice) must use a username and password to access it.

Does anyone have any experience of this and how it can be done?

Thanks in advance!

You just call a login function thta returns wether the logon was successful or not passing the username and password as parameters. Works just like calling any other function on your client.

Hello..

I'm looking how to get the username from the client.

I use following code:

Code:

---

Dim objWinId As System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity=System.Security.Principal.WindowIdentity.GetCurrent
Dim strUserName() As String = Split(objWinId.Name, "\")
Dim sUsername As String = strUserName(1).ToLower

        Me.txtPersoon.Text = sUsername

---

But it only works when I run it on my developing machine. When i run it from the server it wont take the usernamen from the visitor..

any suggestions?

Ah, you want the windows credentials? You should set the DefaultCredentials object's properties in that case.

VB Code:

webserviceclass.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;

Try that.
