Is there not a User object? 1

[bigfoot]

I'm looking for a way to get the user login to my site. Using W2k security. I'm now looking at server variables, but I want to do this in .net.

I know it's there somewhere, but I can't seem to find any security class. namespace???

(.NET newbe)

This will populate the indicated textboxes with all of the authentication data.

void Page_Load(Object sender, EventArgs e)
{
IIdentity id = HttpContext.Current.User.Identity;
if(null != id)
{
contextName.Text = id.Name;
contextIsAuth.Text = id.IsAuthenticated.ToString();
contextAuthType.Text = id.AuthenticationType;
}
id = Thread.CurrentPrincipal.Identity;
if(null != id)
{
threadName.Text = id.Name;
threadIsAuthenticated.Text = id.IsAuthenticated.ToString();
threadAuthenticationType.Text = id.AuthenticationType;
}
id = WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent();
windowsName.Text = id.Name;
windowsIsAuth.Text = id.IsAuthenticated.ToString();
windowsAuthType.Text = id.AuthenticationType;
}

This will tell you who is currently logged into the machine

Response.Write(&quot;<br>windowsName = &quot; & System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent.Name)

Response.Write(&quot;<br>windowsIsAuth = &quot; & System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent.IsAuthenticated.ToString())

Response.Write(&quot;<br>windowsAuthType = &quot; & System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent.AuthenticationType)

Thank you. I needed that.

When I wrote that last post &quot;This will tell you who is currently logged into the machine&quot;, your big post &quot;for anyone who is interested&quot; had not yet appeared on this thread;
So my post just ended up repeating what you had already posted, I think the two posts must have been made almost simultaneously.
thank you
