How can I generate username or kerberos tokens automatically?

I have the following configuration in my app.config:
<microsoft.web.services2>
<policy>
<cache name="../../policyCache.config" />
</policy>
<diagnostics/>
<tokenIssuer>
<autoIssueSecurityContextToken enabled="true" />
</tokenIssuer>
</microsoft.web.services2>

However, if I don't add the token explicitly in my code, the web service
call fails.

Thanks in advance,
IP

P.S. - I am trying to have the tokens generated without explicitly writing
any code. I assume that is what the autoIssueSecurityContextToken setting
does.

Thanks again,
IP

No, it's not what autoIssueSecurityContextToken does. This is a
receiver-side setting that enables WS-SecureConversation for all
services in the current app domain. Issuing a SecurityContextToken still
requires that the client present a valid base token, for example either
UsernameToken or KerberosToken.

At the client, UsernameTokens cannot be generated automatically since
they require a password value. KerberosTokens can be generated
automatically if you configure the policy file for the client correctly.
There should be examples of this in the samples for the product.
