Service needs to get the logged in user credentials

[sonalee2304]

Hi, I am new to WCF. My application has already been built up. The service had been taking some hard coded credentials. Now the functionality I need to implement is that the service needs to get the credentials from the logged in user(i.e. the user details who logs in to the application). I have been searching this but some places I saw that CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials will return blank username/pwd and not the login details. Can anyone guide me through this? It would be really helpful.

Please answer my below query- 1- Which authentication you are using: windows or Form authentication ? 2- What is based to verify credential? Are you using the database on service side or via windows authentication? Note: This is the security concern so please read below link and make handy knowledge. If still you are facing some problem then post here. http://blogs.msdn.com/pedram/archive/2007/10/05/wcf-authentication-custom-username-and-password-validator.aspx[^]
