The client is granted the access permissions specified an account that Windows Media Services has been configured to use as the anonymous user account. You can use the IWMSAdminAnonUser object to retrieve the name of the user account and specify a user name and password for use during the authorization process. The IWMSAdminAnonUser object exposes the following properties and methods.
