Well, I have now :-) Didn't seem to make much difference though. After
reading about it, it seems to do about the same thing as setting Integrated
Windows Authentication in IIS, when Anonymous access is turned off.

It seems strange that there isn't a way to get the user name on the server
side when it was supposedly set with
System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials on the client side. Do I need
to use impersonation to do this?
