ASP.NET Authentication + web service

Hi,

I have asmx web service with this webmethod:

Code:

Public Class AuthWebService
    Inherits System.Web.Services.WebService

    <WebMethod()> _
   Public Function Authenticate(ByVal Username As String, ByVal Password As String) As Boolean

        If FormsAuthentication.Authenticate(Username, Password) Then
            FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie(Username, False)
            Return True
        End If

        Return False

    End Function

User credentials are saved in SQL server database AspNetDb. This is part of my web.config

HTML Code:

	<connectionStrings>
		<remove name="LocalSqlServer"/>
                <add name="LocalSqlServer" connectionString="data source=.\SQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=aspnetdb; Integrated Security=SSPI;" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
	</connectionStrings>

<authentication mode="Forms">
      <forms cookieless="UseCookies"
      loginUrl="~/SL_AuthenticationTestPage.aspx" />
</authentication >
    
<membership defaultProvider="DefaultMembershipProvider">
	<providers>
	<clear/>
	<add name="DefaultMembershipProvider" 
             connectionStringName="LocalSqlServer" 
             applicationName="/SL_Authentication" 
             minRequiredNonalphanumericCharacters="0" 
             minRequiredPasswordLength="3" 
             passwordFormat="Clear" 
             type="System.Web.Security.SqlMembershipProvider, System.Web, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a"/>
	</providers>
</membership>

When I open ASP.NET Configuration page I can see users from AspNetDb database, but when I open asmx in browser and enter correct username and password the result is False... If I add users directly in web.config, web service is working correctly... Is there something that must be enabled to use asp.net authentication from asmx web service?
