WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent.Name does not work 2

[Katya85S]

In asp.net application, intranet, Windows Authentication, I have to identify user credentials (to respond on users' questions, send e-mails and so on).
To find user name I use
Protected strUser As String = CStr(System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent.Name.ToStrin())
And then I would use DirectoryEntry and DirectorySearch objects to find User Name, Email and so on.
Till recent it worked fine. But now, I don’t know what could possibly happen, the strUser instead of bringing logged on user name (Domain/UserName) gives me the following data “NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE”. How can I fix it? The application has to identify real user name and credentials….
In IIS the anonymus authentication is turned off for these pages.
Any ideas?
Thank you all in advance

Is impersonation still turned on in the web.config file?

Where should i look for it in the web.config? I was literally looking for "impersonation" but didn't find anything similar.
As for teh authorization section, I have:
<authorization>
<allow users="*" /> <!-- Allow all users -->
</authorization>

There should be a section called identity e.g.

<identity impersonate="true" />

Many-many thank you!
I've added the identity section with true impersonate value and this fixed the problem.
Thank you very much!

Thanks. I found this and it was very helpful to me in capturing the current userid for another purpose. Thanks again.
