Hello All,
I am new to .net. I want to use windows authentication to authenticate
against the current logged in user on the client machine. I believe by using
windows authentication method, the IIS will send me details of the current
logged in user at the client machine if integrated windows authentication is
enabled at IIS. Can anyone please guide me how I can get the name of the
current logged in client that is making a request to my ASP.net application
?

I am trying to look into System.Web.Security class for this but have not
been able to find a piece of code or guidance of how to do it.

Imran.

See http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en...SecNetAP05.asp for
a list of the three properties that expose user identity information that
may be useful in your application, as well as descriptions of how various
IIS and ASP.NET authentication and identity configurations affect the
property values.

I cannot seem to find the container class for this property.

It surly is not the member of System.Web.Security or am I wrong?

This was in the context of a Control or the Page. Another way is to call:

HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name

Brock thanks a lot for that, it does give me the login name along with the
domain prefix.
Thanks.

I used this in my ASP pages and still use it in ASP.NET although there's
obviously many other was to achieve the same/similar result.

Dim strWho as String
strWho = Request.ServerVariables("AUTH_USER")
or
strWho = Request.ServerVariables("LOGON_USER")

HTH,
Jim

Yeah it would give the Domain prefix like DOMAIN\Username.
If you are authenticated in the domain.Whan you can do is to remove the
Domain prefix if you don't need it.
