Hi all,

First, please excuse my english... don't hesitate to ask for more details...

I have a web service that need to be authenticated
to allow users to connect.

I'm building a Web Application to access this WS.
I want every one to be able to acces the application.

I tought, using this code to map outside user to a guest account:

if( System.Threading.Thread.CurrentPrincipal.Identity.IsAuthenticated )
{
    _WS.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
}
else
{
    System.Net.NetworkCredential oCreds = new System.Net.NetworkCredential();
    oCreds.Domain = "domain";
    oCreds.UserName = "user";
    oCreds.Password = "password";
    _WS.Credentials = oCreds;
}

I have three problems/questions...

    a) What do experienced people think of this solution.
    b) I need to do Unit Test for this, can I simulate a not logged user ???
    c) How should I make the password secure ??

Thanks you very much for any comments.
