user.identity.name problem

[meninblack]

We have recently renamed a users active directory account and now when user.identity.name callout is used, it returns the old username.

It's as if active directory is somehow caching it.

Any idea's

Thanks

try this method instead?

System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity user = System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent();
lblUserName.Text = user.Name;

does it return the same "wrong" value?

Thanks, I'll check with the developer.

I need to still work out why this happening as this call is used in other web apps, so I need to look at both sides.

Thanks
