RavenDB: Integrated Windows Authentication

A couple of days ago I was at a customer and one of the raised issues, when dealing with RavenDB Windows authentication, was how to use a real “Integrated Windows Authentication” in order to have the credentials of the user currently running the client process flow to the server through the HTTP protocol.

After a bit of digging in the .net documentation the solution is trivial:

Uri uri = new Uri( "http://localhost:8080/" );
ICredentials credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
NetworkCredential credential = credentials.GetCredential( uri, "Basic" );

var store = new DocumentStore()
{
    Url = "http://localhost:8080/",
    DefaultDatabase = "database-name",
    Credentials = credential
}.Initialize();

The above snipped creates a new DocumentStore whose credentials are ready to transport the current user credentials.
