Windows WCF credentials without domain?

Can Windows client credentials be used to secure transport between a Windows Forms client and WCF Self-Service if both machines are not on a domain together?

I am not an expert on Windows authentication schemes in the wild, but I would suggest that the server that implements the given service should have a way to verify the Windows credentials passed to it, either by being in the same domain and having access to the same Active Directory. as the caller, or at least with a domain trust of the caller (not sure if this will work).

You certainly can't use Windows credentials if the caller and server are on two completely separate Windows domains that aren't even associated with a trust, IMHO.
