I am able to connect to the Sharepoint Web Service from a WinForms
application using the "DefaultCredentials". But I am having trouble
doing this from a WebForm. I have tried using the default IIS setting
of "allow anonymous" and changing the identity used there to my own. I
believe I running IIS 5.0 on Windows XP becuase I do not see an APP
POOL folder in the snap-in.

Any guidelines for security when talking to SP Web Services from other
Web Applications?

TIA -

Progress here by using Impersonation in ASP to get my own account to
be used by the Web Client. So both Windows and Web clients can contact
Sharepoint Web Services to retrieve informaion.

Probably using an App Pool Identity would be better?
