I need to pass a NetworkCredential
object with the credentials of the currently impersonated user to a web service from an asp.net application.
My code looks like this:
WindowsIdentity windowsIdentity = HttpContext.Current.User.Identity as WindowsIdentity;
WindowsImpersonationContext context = windowsIdentity.Impersonate();
try {
var client = GetClient();
client.ClientCredentials.Windows.ClientCredential = CredentialCache.DefaultNetworkCredentials;
Log("WindowsIdentity = {0}", windowsIdentity.Name);
Log("DefaultNetworkCredentials = {0}", CredentialCache.DefaultNetworkCredentials.UserName);
client.DoSomething();
} finally {
context.Undo();
}
I had understood that CredentialCache.DefaultNetworkCredentials
should give the credentials of the currently impersonated user, but it is not the case.
The log messages I get are
WindowsIdentity = TESTDOMAIN\TESTUSER
DefaultNetworkCredentials =
Am I doing something wrong? If so, how do you get a NetworkCredential object for the currently impersonated user?
