Despite what the ASDoc say, WebService.setCredentials() is only for authenticating with LCDS (nee FDS) itself when making use of a destination registered with the Proxy Service. WebService.setRemoteCredentials() is only for LCDS too, it's what is used by the Proxy Service to handle any HTTP Basic Authentication challenges while contacting the 3rd party endpoint.
If you're not using LCDS, then you'll need to setup a way to authenticate directly with the WebService. In .NET a common solution is to make use of SOAP headers.

I need to connect to a .NET WebService over SSL which uses Basic Authentication. I have tried the setCredentials function but it doesn't work. Are there plans to support this feature? Is there a work-around? I would prefer to get the credentials from the user through a login view in Flex and then check them under the covers without the browser popping up any messages. I have searched the internet and various mailing lists and forums but I have yet to find an answer. -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com Yahoo!
