Well, you can't really, not directly from CF at any rate. "Integrated Windows Authentication" isn't supported by CF. Windows (or NTLM) Authentication sends a hash of the user's password to the server, instead of the actual password itself as Basic Authentication does. > Some people said: "only Microsoft products can pass the required protocols > for Windows Integrated Security". > > Is that true? Please share your thoughts. No, there are other products that support NTLM Authentication. Firefox does, for example, although it may require configuration. I would look into using an NTLM proxy. When Googling "ntlm proxy" I found some possible candidates: http://sourceforge.net/projects/ntlmaps/ http://cntlm.sourceforge.net/ If the administrators of the web service can enable Basic Authentication, that would also solve the problem. If they're aiming for interoperability, they shouldn't require Windows Authentication. Of course, Basic Authentication does send credentials in base64-encoded plaintext, so it should be used in conjunction with SSL/TLS.
