At the beginning of the call to the web service, the user is authenticated, and if successful, the call is processed normally. The web service will attach a Forms Authentication cookie to the response to improve performance in subsequent calls, but it is not required to use the cookie (the caller can be re-authenticated each time). The client must keep the TCP connection alive in between calls in order to re-use the cookie while configured to use NTLM. Each new TCP connection will require re-authentication.
