    You need to get the user’s token. Use the p/invoke LogonUser from the advapi32.dll:

        [DllImport("advapi32.dll", SetLastError = true)]
        public static extern bool LogonUser(
                string lpszUsername,
                string lpszDomain,
                string lpszPassword,
                int dwLogonType,
                int dwLogonProvider,
                out IntPtr phToken);
    

    Example:

    IntPtr userToken = IntPtr.Zero;
    
    bool success = External.LogonUser(
      "john.doe", 
      "domain.com", 
      "MyPassword", 
      (int) AdvApi32Utility.LogonType.LOGON32_LOGON_INTERACTIVE, //2
      (int) AdvApi32Utility.LogonProvider.LOGON32_PROVIDER_DEFAULT, //0
      out userToken);
    
    if (!success)
    {
      throw new SecurityException("Logon user failed");
    }
    
    using (WindowsIdentity.Impersonate(userToken))
    {
      // do the stuff with john.doe's credentials
    }
