Hi -

I have an ASP.NET Webservice that needs to call a "remote Webservice"
as a specific user, different from the User that is calling MY
Webservice, but I'm not able to find what it is I need to do to take
the User Name and Domain that are parameters to MY Webservice and
authenticate to the remote Webservice.

I'm certain that it's not rocket science, I'm just not familiar enough
with this part of things to be able to kmopw what to do.

BTW: I'm doing this in VB.NET

    <WebMethod()> _
    Public Function ContactCreate(ByVal entity As
System.Xml.XmlElement, User as String, Domain as String) As
System.Guid
        Dim ws As New ContactWebService
        Try
' ------------------------------------------------------------
' (I'm Assuming that there is SOMETHING that I do to/with my
ContactWebService instance (which was generated via the wsdl.exe
program)
' ------------------------------------------------------------
            Return ws.Create(entity)
        Catch ex As Exception
            Dim evntLog As New System.Diagnostics.EventLog("",
System.Environment.MachineName, "Start")
            evntLog.WriteEntry("Excpetion Caught: " + ex.Message,
System.Diagnostics.EventLogEntryType.Information, 2)
        End Try
    End Function


Can someone please point me in the right direction?

Thanks in advance
Chip

There's no generic answer to this question. It depends entirely on the 
remote service. For instance, it appears that the Create operation doesn't 
want your username and password, but perhaps there's a Login operation that 
does. There's no way for us to know, so you should ask the people who are in 
charge of the remote service.
