Thanks Mark Lots of useful background in that article but I was really looking for an 'out of the box' integration 'with' Active Directory. As I said it works fine when logging into IIS and running ASP.NET code using "impersonate", but I have failed to flow down the logged on user identity to another IIS server hosting remote components. The process works fine (if a little sluggish) when using Integrated Authentication.
I think I have convinced myself that our application is in fact an intranet application and for the moment I will use Integrated. As you have stated in reply to another post I may be making "a pre-mature optimization".

Greg Reinacker has posted a sample of using digest authentication. You can find it here: http://www.rassoc.com/gregr/weblog/stories/2002/07/09/webServicesSecurityHtt pDigestAuthenticationWithoutActiveDirectory.html It may not be exactly what you are looking for, but it might give you a good start. -----Original Message----- From: Moderated discussion of advanced .NET topics.
