My guess is no, but that depends a lot on how your web service is being
called. Are you using transport level security or does your web service
take credentials in the message itself (using something like WSE2 or by
simply passing username data in the XML body)?
If you are using transport level security, then it will depend on the
credentials you have enabled for your proxy class and there is no way that
I'm aware of to supply passport credentials that way (although I could be
wrong there).
There might also be a way to pass the passport cookie to the web service in
hopes that it will accept that as authentication, but I don't know if that
will work either. It is worth a shot.
