Hi,

I am developing an ASP.NET Application in C#. I need to find out the
user under which the process is running on runtime. So I use
System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity.GetCurre nt().Name to get the
name of the current user. But I get this exception:

Exception: System.ApplicationException
Message: Access is denied.

Source: mscorlib
at System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity._Resolve Identity(IntPtr
userToken)
at System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity.get_Name ()


What is the reason for this? Calling
System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity.GetCurre nt().IsAuthenticated
does not lead to this exception! So what can the reason be?

Regards
Marco

Which level of authentication is your web app implementing? You don't have Anonymous turned on do
you?
