WCF client with basichttpBinding & windows authentication
Hi Everybody,
I am pretty new to WCF and writing my first web service in which I am finding some difficulty.
I am hosting wcf web service on IIS with basicHttpBinding and windows authentication .. It is working very well. whenever I hit the web service URL , I am asked to enter windows username password for verification which is perfectly fine..
Now I would like to send this web service URL to client so that he can consume it via adding web reference but I am not sure how would it work at client's end ? Do i need to give him windows credential to use web service ? If this is the case then i would not be happy to give client production server's credential ..
can you please guide me how exactly this authentication work ? or what are the other options do i have ?
Thank you,
Chints

Thanks for your help. that document is very useful .. I have decided to create least privilege user account for the client as mentioned in the document and continue with windows authentication on basichttpbinding due to time limitation of the project..
Cheers,
