Thread Safety

All public static members of this type are safe for multithreaded operations. No instance members are guaranteed to be thread safe.

Remarks

The System.Net.NetworkCredential class supplies client credentials used in password-based authentication schemes such as Kerberos.

Note:

Classes that implement the System.Net.ICredentials interface, such as the System.Net.CredentialCache class, return System.Net.NetworkCredential instances.

This class does not support public key-based authentication methods such as SSL client authentication.
