Retreiving windows login id in ASP.net

[rushdib]

We are using ASP.net 1.1 on iis 6 and windows 2003 and trying to obtain the windows login id. It works fine in the development machine but when it's deployed on the server, it always gives the login id used to sign-on the server. It doesn't give the user's login id. We used the following to get the login info:

HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name
User.Identity.Name
Page.User.Identity.Name()
System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent().Name
Environment.UserName

Please help

Thanks,

what are your web.config settings? you need to implmement Windows authentication with impersonation = true

We tried that.

<authentication mode="Windows" />
<identity impersonate="true"/>

Still no luck

Jason,
I know. We are confused as well. It looks like the page is getting authenticated by the server login instead of the user who open the page. If I check the anonymous in iis, then it returns a null, so the integrated security is working but it's using the server login.
Now if use the basic authentication, then it's returning the correct login.
Is there any other setting iis 6 or windows 2003, that's doint this?

the server is part of the network correct? any app i've written is for the intranet, so the server is part of the domain which users log onto.

do you have control over the server/machine.config? or is there a sperate administrator/department which is responsible for that? I would check the overall IIS and machine.config settings to make sure nothing is locked.

web.config overrides/appends to machine.config so if the defaults are set this isn't the problem.

This is intranet. I have control on the server. Which part should I check on iis or machine.config?

 

[jmeckley]

i'm not exactly sure. i'm assuming something is off since this isn't working.
maybe some of these links will be useful

One reson could be that we are using AD.
