// Create a binding that uses a WindowsServiceCredential.
WSHttpBinding b = new WSHttpBinding(SecurityMode.Message);
b.Security.Message.ClientCredentialType = MessageCredentialType.Windows;

// Add an endpoint.
sh.AddServiceEndpoint(typeof(ICalculator), b, "WindowsCalculator");

// Get a reference to the WindowsServiceCredential object.
WindowsServiceCredential winCredential =
    sh.Credentials.WindowsAuthentication;
// Print out values.
Console.WriteLine("IncludeWindowsGroup: {0}",
    winCredential.IncludeWindowsGroups);
Console.WriteLine("UserNamePasswordValidationMode: {0}",
    winCredential.AllowAnonymousLogons);

Console.ReadLine();

' Create a service host.
Dim httpUri As New Uri("http://localhost/Calculator")
Dim sh As New ServiceHost(GetType(Calculator), httpUri)

' Create a binding that uses a WindowsServiceCredential.
Dim b As New WSHttpBinding(SecurityMode.Message)
b.Security.Message.ClientCredentialType = MessageCredentialType.Windows

' Add an endpoint.
sh.AddServiceEndpoint(GetType(ICalculator), b, "WindowsCalculator")

' Get a reference to the WindowsServiceCredential object.
Dim winCredential As WindowsServiceCredential = sh.Credentials.WindowsAuthentication
' Print out values.
Console.WriteLine("IncludeWindowsGroup: {0}", winCredential.IncludeWindowsGroups)
Console.WriteLine("UserNamePasswordValidationMode: {0}", winCredential.AllowAnonymousLogons)

Console.ReadLine()
