Can I get IE credentials using WSE?

dotnet web services enhancements: I am fairly new to Web Services and WSE, so bear with me.

I have a Windows Forms control embedded in a web page. I am trying to call
my web service from the form control. If I use
CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials to authenticate, I get the Windows logged
on user credentials instead of the user that authenticated under IE. Is
there anyway that I can get the IE logon credentials using WSE?

You would probably have to use the web service's state management (e.g.
ASP.NET Session variables) to keep track of this.

However, it is not such a good idea to create stateful web services. (There
are several articles that provide architectural guidance. [1]) You should
investigate the use of WS-SecureConversation if you expect your client to
exchange multiple messages with your service.
