windowslogin / not working on server

[R7Dave]

Hello

(Using VS 2005)

I want my ASP.net app to pull the windows login and pass it as a variable to a stored procedure

This works fine on my machine but does not work on the server after I publish.

This is how I get the variable to pass to the sp

Dim s_user As String = System.Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("username")

What do I need to do to make this work on the server?

Thanks in advance
Dave

use [tt]HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name;[/tt], not [tt]System.Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("username")[/tt].
If your with a page object you can simply to [tt]Page.User.Identity.Name[/tt]
Enable Windows Integrated Authencation on the virtual directory. Disable all other authentication methods.

this works on your local machine because the client and server are the same box, and you are the only user accessing the website on your box.
