Can I avoid client authentication when using secure TCP channel?

I would like to use a "secure" TCP remoting channel to ensure that my data is encrypted. I have my own authentication mechanism since clients will normally not be members of the server's domain.

From reading newsgroup posts, it appears that when using a secure TCP
channel, the server's operating system will always try to authenticate the client's credentials. Is this true?! It seems to be true since (before control gets to my server object) I get "The server has rejected the client credentials." whenever I test from non-domain client machines. Testing from client machines logged into the domain works fine.

I don't want Windows to try to authenticate the client. I simply want encryption. Am I out of luck?
