Network Username

[Geoff Murley]

Is there a simple command I can use to retrieve the
username of the user currently logged onto a client PC,
viewing my ASP.NET page?

I really want the ASP.NET equivalent of
SystemInformation.UserName

HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name, or just User.Identity.Name in the
context of a page. This assumes you're using Windows authentication in your
ASP.NET app.

Hi, I am using Windows authentication , however, both of
your suggestions return an empty string. Is there
something else I should check?

 

[Geoff Murley]

I've got it to work now. I didn't turn off Allow
Anonymous access in IIS.

Thanks for your help.

Check in IIS that you've disabled anonymous authentication for your application.
