    Hello, I already posted about Unit tests some posts ago
    but I'm still having a problem and I can't figure out any clues...

    I got this DLL that contains all the logic for a web application.
    Two web-applications will use it (for a start), one with Windows Authentication
    and one with anonymous or custom forms.

    Also, my DLL is tested by a WinForm application: NUnit-GUI.

    This DLL must call several web services.
    Most are using Windows Authentication, some don't.

    I need a way to determine if user is logged and if not, I map it to a guest user.

    I was using this code:

    if( System.Threading.Thread.CurrentPrincipal.Identity.IsAuthenticated )
            //... use System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials
    else
            //... create new Network credentials...

    Testing in NUnitGUI, I found that System.Threading.Thread.CurrentPrincipal.Identity.IsAuthenticated
    thinks that I'm not authenticated, while I am...

    Is there any rational explanation to this ??

    Thanks you very much!
