error accessing CRM from custom web page

I created a simple aspx page to create a new contact in CRM, however I keep getting an http error "The request failed with HTTP status 401: Unauthorized."
I guess the it's because username/password I am using is not authorized in CRM... I disabled anonynous access in IIS but still it doesn't work. Is there any trick to make it accessible? Or to use a different user
Thanks

Are you using the CUserAuth object?? Are you using the System.Net.CredentitalCache

Just make sure to specify a valid GUID for both the UserId and MerchantId that CUserAuth requires. The System.Net calls are boilerplate from MSDN

The only users who can access crm data are domain users who have a crm
license assigned to them.

That's right. I'm using BizTalk 2004 that is connecting to CRM, but since BizTalk is running as a system service (with an domain account), I had two options:
1. the BizTalk system user should get an CRM license
2. use System.Net.NetworkCredentials(user, password, domain)

Then you can choose an existing license-account
