Authentication Question

I am attempting to access WMI data on a remote machine. I have been able to
get this to work, but there has got to be a better way, I hope.

set wmiLocator = CreateObject("WbemScripting.SWbemLocator")
Set WMIServices = GetObject("winmgmts://" & cn & "")
Set objSWbemLocator = CreateObject("WbemScripting.SWbemLocator")
WMIServices.Security_.ImpersonationLevel = 3

Then in my IIS snapin, Directory Security, and then Edit

I have this set
Anon Access with my username and password as well as Windows Integrated
Authentication checked.

It does the job, I can pull the data, but it poses a security risk. I don't
want to have my password and username as the authentication options.

turn off anonymous and integrated and leave basic on, then you will have to
pass in your credentials. See what that gives ya once.

I think I got it where I want. I now just need a input box for the password

When the page is loaded (schWS.ASP), it will ask for your password, accept
the password and use the password on the schWS.ASP page. I don't need it
validated. It will be validated when the WMI data is accessed.

I think this is easy, but my brain is dead from spending a couple of days
trying to get to my current point.
