Using Microsoft integrated windows authentication with WCF but without IIS

Is there a way to get the behavior of Microsoft Integrated Windows Authentication w/o having to deploy using IIS? We have our own standalone C#/WCF WebServer and we would like to add this functionality. We cannot use IIS as part of our deployment.

Solution

  • You can set the ClientCredentialType 

    WebHttpBinding whb = ... ;
whb.Security.Transport.ClientCredentialType = HttpClientCredentialType.Windows;

    and later get the WindowsIdentity with 

    WindowsIdentity identity =  ServiceSecurityContext.Current.WindowsIdentity;
