The credentials in the CredentialCache and the Principal objects are not
directly compatible( at least i couldnt get my Principal to translate into
Network credentials). What you could do is use security features in the web
service. If you are using WSE 2.0, then you could send the username and
password via the username token and validate the user at the reporting
service, using these credentials.
Hope this helps
