Hi, I ask you for a problem I can't resolve.
I'm developing a form application in C# and I need to access a web application (IIS) within the intranet and not to insert crediantials manually (I keep them in code).
I tried using both Win32NativeMethods.LogonUser and advapi32.dll's Logon User methods, but they both return false. Why? Username, domain and password I use are profiled on the remote machine, not on my local machine. Might this be the problem?
There are some solutions on the web but they don't work for me.
Could you help me, please?
Following is the code I tried to use (references: http://platinumdogs.wordpress.com/2008/10/30/net-c-impersonation-with-network-credentials/#comment-770)
