Windows Logged In User Name

[emblewembl]

I have written an asp.net system for an intranet which shows a different menu depending on the user logged into the particular workstation being used.

In order to determine which user is logged in I use:

HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name

This works fine on my network and used to work fine on my clients network, but since a whole bunch of new PCS were hooked up, and new users were set up it doesn't work. If I do:

Response.Write("Name:" & HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name)

.... I just get a blank! Does anyone know what could have caused this. Incidentaly all the new users were set up so they can log on without a password. Would this effect it?

Thanks!

If your looking for the username they logon to windows with (which i think you are) you can also get this from

Request.ServerVariables["AUTH_USER"];

Don't know if that will help with your problem though, I use this on our network with no problems. I assume you have Windows Authentication set for the website in IIS and have Anonymous Access switched off? Don't know if the no password setup would cause a problem. Sorry can't be more definitive. Good Luck.

Still the same error!!!

[ApplicationException: Access is denied.
]
System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity._ResolveIdentity(IntPtr userToken) +0
System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity.get_Name() +71
System.Web.Configuration.AuthorizationConfigRule.IsUserAllowed(IPrincipal user, String verb) +100
System.Web.Configuration.AuthorizationConfig.IsUserAllowed(IPrincipal user, String verb) +81
System.Web.Security.UrlAuthorizationModule.OnEnter(Object source, EventArgs eventArgs) +156
System.Web.SyncEventExecutionStep.Execute() +59
System.Web.HttpApplication.ExecuteStep(IExecutionStep step, Boolean& completedSynchronously) +87

What am I doing wrong? The steps I took are...
1. Removed Anonimous Access from IIS
2. Edited Web.Config and added <identity Impersonate=True/>
3. In connectstring of the Connection, I added Trusted_Connection =Yes and I am not using any username or password. I tried only username after your post with
....user id=&quot; & NTUserName() & &quot;;.....

Please help!!! Thanks.

Is &quot;Integrated Windows authentication&quot; in IIS checked?

 

[abdullauthan]
