How To Pass Integrated Authentication User on to Another Web Service Using WCF Web Api

Question

I have the following setup:

Intranet Application --> Call WCF Web Api --> Calls Autonomy Worksite Web Server

The call to the worksite web server must be from the authenticated active directory user making the call to the intranet application.

So I guess I'm hoping I can pass the credential on to the WCF Web service, which can then use them to make the web service call.

Is this possible? Or should I ask the user to enter his / her password.......

You'd want to configure contrained Kerberos delegation in Active Directory, in order to pass the original callers credentials to the WCF application.

This looks like it may do the trick... I've stalled on it for the time being but will let you know once I have a go! Thanks again. – Dave Stringer Mar 06 '12 at 00:02
