WebClientProtocol.Credentials Property

  • Reference

Definition

Namespace:
System.Web.Services.Protocols
Assembly:
System.Web.Services.dll

Gets or sets security credentials for XML Web service client authentication.

public:
 property System::Net::ICredentials ^ Credentials { System::Net::ICredentials ^ get(); void set(System::Net::ICredentials ^ value); };
public System.Net.ICredentials Credentials { get; set; }
member this.Credentials : System.Net.ICredentials with get, set
Public Property Credentials As ICredentials

Property Value

ICredentials

The ICredentials for the XML Web service client.

Examples

The following example is an ASP.NET Web Form, which calls an XML Web service named Math. Within the EnterBtn_Click function, the Web Form explicitly sets authentication credentials using the Credentials property. The user name, password and domain are passed into the constructor for the NetworkCredential class.

Important

This example has a text box that accepts user input, which is a potential security threat. By default, ASP.NET Web pages validate that user input does not include script or HTML elements. For more information, see.

Remarks

When using the Credentials property, a XML Web service client must instantiate a class implementing ICredentials, such as NetworkCredential, and then set the client credentials specific to the authentication mechanism. The NetworkCredential class can be used to set authentication credentials using the basic, digest, NTLM and Kerberos authentication mechanisms.

When the Credentials property is set to CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials then the client negotiates with the server to do Kerberos and/or NTLM authentication depending on how the server is configured.
