Windows Authentication 2

[figler]

This should be simple, but (as usual) I am having trouble:

I am successfuly using windows authentication. BUT... I want in my aspx to grab the user name of the authenticated user. I am using system.security.principal.windowsprincipal, but it is giving me the name of the user that the code is running in.

Any help? Thanks! -Brad

I use two things...
Here's the first one... It will return the user name with the domain...

page.user.identity.name

(ex: domain/james)

here's a quick funtion I use to drop off the domain name...

public function CurrentUser(ByVal Page as Page) as string
CurrentUser = Right(page.user.identity.name, LeN(page.user.identity) - InStr(1, Page.user.identity.name, "\&quot)
end function

to call it just use this

= currentuser(page)
it will return just the user name...

User.Identity.Name.Split('\\')[1];

returns just the name portion

(and User.Identity.Name.Split('\\')[0] gives the domain portion)
