Authenticate MSMQ Message with alternative credentials?

I've written a C# application that puts an XML-object into an MSMQ queue. The queue requires authentication.

MessageQueue queue = GetQueue();
var message = new Message();
message.Formatter = new CustomXMLFormatter();
message.Body = xml.ToString();
message.Label = "From my application";
message.UseAuthentication = true;
queue.Send(message, MessageQueueTransactionType.Single);

This all works today, but now I need to make a change in the way I authenticate. Currently the messages are authenticated using the user that runs the application. However, I want to use a static AD-user istead. (The reason i开发者_如何转开发s that the system retriveing the messages needs that all the messages have been added by a single user account).

Is there a way to change which user performs the authentication?

You could try to use an Impersonator. It works well if your application is running on a machine that is inside the domain. You would have to use something else if the machine is outside the domain, and with no access to the AD Directory.

Here's an example of what the code could look like :

using ( new Impersonator( "myUsername", "myDomainname", "myPassword" ) )
{
   ...
   
   <code that executes under the new context>
  
   ...
}

As a reference, here is the code from the article:
