Problem accessing webservices

[Kerry Matt]

Hi All,
We have problems in accessing a WebService which is
running on a remote server from a ASPX application. It
gives us Un Authorized Exception. The Webservice is
using "Basing Authentication". Any idea of how to get it
work?.

Thanks in Advance.

Probably you didn't set the PreAuthenticate property to true, and passed the
current credentials:

Dim eng As New myWebservice.Service
eng.PreAuthenticate = True
eng.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials
'This will pass the credentials of the currently logged on user
eng.DoSomething

Thanks for your reply,
I need some clarifications, by
setting the Preauthenticate property are we sending the
credentials of the Web Service or the credentials of the
ASPX application. Since we run the ASPX application and
the Web Service on different systems i am having this
confusion.

Thanks in Advance,

You are sending the credentials of the user that is using your
website/application if you have checked Integrated Windows Security in IIS
management. Otherwise you're sending the credentials of the account your
asp.net site is running under.

Thanks for your reply,

I am using Basic Authentication in IIS. Should i send
the credentials for the Remote WebServer or the
credentials of my local ASPX application.

Thanks in Advance

you should send the credentials of an account that has sufficient rights on
the remote server.

Does it means i have to hard code the User Name and
Password for the Remote Server.

Thanks in Advance

Or you can put them in a config file, database, ... yes.
