Credentials usage

Credential definitions can be found in the ‘Web Service Add Dialog’ under Settings->Credentials.
First tab named ‘Basic & Windows’ enables definition of UserName (Basic) credentials, or Windows Authentication credentials.
Second tab named ‘Digest’ is for definition of Http Digest credentials. (Digest authentication is intended to supersede unencrypted use of the Basic access authentication, allowing user identity to be established securely without having to send a password in plaintext over the network).
Third tab named ‘Certificate’ enables attachment of a certificate from a file; a file certificate ends with a ‘cer’ extension. If file requires a password, the password should be supplied in the ‘password’ field.
In the ‘Misc’ tab, one can define a Mesh password, which is used in a P2P connection under NetPeerTcpBinding.
One can also define impersonation level, and whether on not to allow NTLM Authentication (also known as Integrated Windows Authentication – IWA, or HTTP Negotiate authentication) in the ‘Misc’ tab.
