Hi,

I have a "little" problem with authentication from user control (written in
.NET c#) that
is displayed in HTML page using Internet Explorer. Its possible using
<object classid=....> tag.

Lets say i have logged in as user A to my computer.
Then i launch my browser (IE) and open website that requires authentication
(Windows Integrated).
So I log in as user B. The page that is displayed for me contains the
user control. This user control is run under user A privileges.

So my question:

IS THERE ANY solution somehow to get the credentials of the user B?
I want to connect to webservices located on the same website, and pass
the same credentials.

Thanks for any advice.

No, it's not possible. It would be a pretty big security hole in IE if it
were. See
http://groups-beta.google.com/group/microsoft.public.dotnet.security/browse_frm/
thread/21ffb3fbbe4b1aa4/
for another thread on the same topic. If you would like suggestions for an
alternate approach, it would help if you could provide some detail
concerning your desired end result.
