you can if you use basic authenication. you have two options:

1) turn on impersonation in web config, and set the credials in the
webrequest to the current credentials

wc.Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials

2) mime the http headers for the login and password (the password is just
base64 encoded), and fill in the credentials in the web request.
