SiteCore Item WebAPI Remote Call failing with 403

Hi All I am trying to call the SiteCore Item Web API remotely where Sitecore is not installed and not able to call the service from remote machine. I am getting 403 from remote computer but getting response 200 from Sitecore machine.

Below is sample code snippet

   namespace SiteCoreApi
  {
class Program
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create          ("http://dpc/sitecore/api/ssc/item/?path=/sitecore/content/home");

        request.Headers["X-Scitemwebapi-Username"] = @"sitecore\admin";
        request.Headers["X-Scitemwebapi-Password"] = "b";

        try
        {
            HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse();
            Console.Write(String.Format("Content length is {0}", response.ContentLength));
            Console.Write(String.Format("Content type is {0}", response.ContentType));
            // Get the stream associated with the response.
            Stream receiveStream = response.GetResponseStream();
            // Pipes the stream to a higher level stream reader with the required encoding format. 
            StreamReader readStream = new StreamReader(receiveStream, Encoding.UTF8);
            Console.Write("<br /> Response stream received. <br />");
            Console.Write(readStream.ReadToEnd());
            Console.ReadLine();

        }

        catch(Exception ex)
        {
            Console.Write(ex.Message);
        }

    }
}

}

I think that happens because the sitecore services security policy is set by default to ServicesLocalOnlyPolicy, and you need to change it to ServicesOnPolicy you can find those configurations under : App_Config/include/Sitecore.Services.client.config, but be careful Changing the settings in this file may impact the security of your Sitecore installation
