Hi all,

I have a very simple test WSE 3.0 enabled web service.  The Web Service is
the default "Hello World" file based web service in VS 2005.
I used the wizard to secure this service using the "Username" authentication
and chose to authorize that the user is "testuser".

When I invoke the simple "helloworld" web method from a test client using
WSE 3.0, I can get the expected authentication error.  If I simply invoke the
"helloworld" method from internet explorer, no authentication error is thrown
and the web method is invoked and returns a result (even though no
credentials were passed).

Why is WSE only authenticating / authorizing requests that come from a WSE
test client, and not Internet Explorer?  Seems like I am missing something
very important here.

Thanks,
Jon
