You can get the user name using System Security Principal WindowsIdentity GetCurrent   but there is not way to get current user password

If the web service being invoked uses windows integrated security  creating a NetworkCredential from the current WindowsIdentity should be sufficient to allow the web service to use the current users windows login  However  if the web service uses a different security model  there isn t any way to extract a users password from the current identity     that in and of itself would be insecure  allowing you  the developer  to steal your users passwords  You will likely need to provide some way for your user to provide their password  and keep it in some secure cache if you don t want them to have to repeatedly provide it   Edit  To get the credentials for the current identity  use the following   Uri uri   new Uri  http   tempuri org     ICredentials credentials   CredentialCache DefaultCredentials  NetworkCredential credential   credentials GetCredential uri   Basic
