ASP.NET website -> WCF service -> WCF service, with impersonation all the way?

In short my scenario is like so:

1. The user triggers an action in the web browser, which causes an Ajax call to a web service in the web server (server A).
2. The web server issues a call to a WCF service, hosted in IIS (server B)
3. The WCF service issues a call to another WCF service, hosted in IIS (server C)

All web sites are exposed over http, not https.

Now, server C needs to know who the user is in the other end. I got it working so far so that the WCF service call to server B is performed under impersonation, so server B has a WindowsIdentity object representing the user. However, when I try to invoke the service call from server B to server C under impersonation, I get the following back:

System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception: No credentials are available in the security package

Tweaking service binding feels for me like walking on ice so thin that I am almost walking on water, so let's disregard from what I have failed with so far, and start with a clean sheet.

How should I configure the services to play nicely with each other (and me)?

According to Microsoft, you need to use something called "Delegation", which if I understand correctly, is specifying that Server C trusts Server B to properly authenticate the user from Server A.

Without Delegation, your service on Server B can only access local resources as the impersonated user from Server A.

From the horse's mouth: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc949014.aspx

Because you are making more than one hop, you need to use delegation. Take a look here for more information.
