If they're on the same domain as SharePoint, then they shouldn't have to provide credentials at all. Not wanting users to provide the domain should not lead to using Basic Authentication. Have the ramifications been fully explained to the client? -Clay Are these users not on the domain?

Believe me, I don't agree with this decision ether, sending the password in clear text is not safe. The client wants the users to login without having to specify their domain, and this is the only way that I know that can be accompished. I understand your instructions and will test out tomorrow and post the results. Thanks again! Thanks Clayton, for your quick response!

Why are you doing that with SharePoint? It's not safe, so I assume it's a test environment or isolated environment? Anyway, I do have an idea that might work. After you create your data connection to the UserProfileService, be sure to convert it to a UDC so that it is saved in a Data Connection Library. Then, you'll need to go manually edit that UDCX file in the DCL using Notepad or something. In this file, you can modify the authentication settings, but I do not know if you can get it to work with Basic Authentication or not. The idea may not work at all, because the User Profile Service will not prompt for credentials and needs to automatically pass the credentials of the logged-in user to see if that user has rights to access the web service.
