adding username and password Token to WSSecurity web service call (.net client)

Question

Hey there code warriors and stack exchangers.

I have been trying in vain to set credentials for a web service. I wrote the webservice in Websphere (java ee) and it requires a username and password in the header for any of the services to be called. I can run it fine in SOAP UI, but I need to be able to hit it from a .net web client.

So far I have tried setting the credentials like so...

dlc.ClientCredentials.UserName.UserName = "idiotCreds";
dlc.ClientCredentials.UserName.Password = "someWhackyPWD";

And so far I have just recieved this exception

security.wssecurity.WSSContextImpl.s02: com.ibm.websphere.security.WSSecurityException: Exception  org.apache.axis2.AxisFault: CWWSS6500E: There is no caller identity candidate that can be used to login. ocurred while running action: com.ibm.ws.wssecurity.handler.WSSecurityConsumerHandler$1@42304230

Which I am guessing is telling me that there are no credentials being set...
Even though I set the client credentials. Do I need to create and add a soap header manually here? I thought that was supposed to be handled by that client object? Any ideas fellas? Thanks
