How Can I Set Clientcredentials?

How Can I Set Clientcredentials?

I'm trying to consume a WCF service:

The config of the service is:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
    <system.serviceModel>
        <bindings>
            <netNamedPipeBinding>

                    <security mode="None">
                        <transport clientCredentialType="Windows" proxyCredentialType="None"
                            realm="" />
                        <message clientCredentialType="Windows" negotiateServiceCredential="true" />

                </binding>
            </wsHttpBinding>
        </bindings>
        <client>
            <endpoint address="net.tcp://webapppro-v11/FlightInfoWebService/FlightInfoService.svc"
                binding="netTcpBinding" bindingConfiguration="netTcpEndpoint"
                contract="FlightInfoService" name="netTcpEndpoint" />
            <endpoint address="net.pipe://webapppro-v11/FlightInfoWebService/FlightInfoService.svc"
                binding="netNamedPipeBinding" bindingConfiguration="netNamedPipeEndpoint"
                contract="FlightInfoService" name="netNamedPipeEndpoint" />
            <endpoint address=""
                binding="wsHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="wsHttpBindingConfiguration"
                contract="FlightInfoService" name="wsHttpBindingConfiguration" />
        </client>
    </system.serviceModel>
</configuration>

When I try to call the service:

public async void LoadCities()
{
    _client = new FlightInfoServiceClient(Maquette_MyAirport_Win8.FlightService.FlightInfoServiceClient.EndpointConfiguration.wsHttpBindingConfiguration, "");

    var citiesResponse = await _client.GetAllCitiesAsync(new BaseRequest());
    var  myCities = citiesResponse.Cities;
}

I catch this exception:

ERROR: UnAuthorizedAccess description:You are not authorized to access this service

How can I set my ClientCredentials?

As @Paciv noted in a comment, you can do this through code. Set them with the property ClientCredentials.Windows, something like this:

_client.ClientCredentials.Windows.ClientCredential.Domain = "warzone42";
_client.ClientCredentials.Windows.ClientCredential.UserName = "user1428798";
_client.ClientCredentials.Windows.ClientCredential.Password = "p@ssw0rd";

Setting the credentials in code is of course unwise. If you don't set the Windows user programmatically as above, I believe the credentials from the user running the client are sent accross (which is perhaps a more typical situation?).

Note that if you're setting credentials in code you may in fact be looking for UserName authentication.
