Using ASP.NET MVC 2 credentials to log into other services

Question

Here is my scenario -

1/ I have an ASP.NET MVC application running on my server, it uses Windows Authentication.

2/ There is different web application (written in Java) somewhere else that also uses Windows Authentication.

In the Controller of my MVC application I need to grab some information from this other Web app. How can I connect to the "foreign" application using the credentials of the user that is accessing my Controller?

Any help appreciated.

Impersonation doesn't leave the ASPNET process. This means that you cannot delegate the credentials and access a remote resource using them. You could either swap back to Forms authentication which uses cookies or you will need Kerberos.
