Hi there,
Windows authentication authenticates the user by validating the credentials against the user account in a Windows domain.
Basic authentication verifies the credentials that are provided in a form against the user account that is stored in a database.

2022-07-04T06:57:49.15+00:00 In a WCF service with Basic authentication, is it possible to explicitly send, from client a username/password comibination ? and in the service code, how do I extract them from the call, so that I can verify them against, say, a custom db ?
If I don't provide a username/password combination , the windows' account credentials are passed ? and are they verified, on service side, by the runtime ? and how ?
