I am trying to use a web service using HTTP
Authentication, it works fine if I use Basic or Windows
Authentication (on IIS 5.0), but when I use Digest
authentication I get an HTTP error "401:Access Denied".

I already configured the webservice directory on ISS 5.0
to work with digest authentication.

This is the code I use:

        objService = New webService()
        Dim objCredential As New NetworkCredential
("LOGIN", "PASSWORD")
        Dim objCache As New CredentialCache()

        objCache.Add(new Uri(objService.url), "Digest",
objCredential)
        objService.Credentials = objCache
        objService.PreAuthenticate = true

Anyone has a CLUE?

Thanks in advance,

Javier Duran
