Remarks

Use the SetCredentials method of the Credentials property to specify the security tokens that authenticate the client and protect the SOAP messages. This is commonly done in a filter within a custom policy assertion or when a client secures SOAP messages uses mixed policy or does not use a policy file. For more information about creating custom policy assertions, see Custom Policy Assertions. For more information about a client that secures SOAP messages using mixed policy or does not use a policy file, see How to: Secure a Client Using Mixed Policy and Code and How to: Secure a Client Without Using a Policy File, respectively.
