I have an ever-evolving intranet app on an IIS Server that used Request.ServerVariables(LO
Recently the app required that I do lookups on a SQL08 DB that required i used a specific domain account.
no probs...
I changed Identity to run the application pool to run with the domain account instead of the default Network Service. NICE i'm doing lookups on the DB and everything is fine... or is it?
I can't seem to capture the user who is running the app with Request.ServerVariables(LO
The site does not allow anonymous access and uses Integrated Windows Authentication.

When anonymous is checked and windows authentication isn't i'm getting nothing.
When ananymous is unchecked and windows authentication isn't I'm getting nothing.
When I move the application to the default application Pool windows authentication is working fine. It's when I move the app to an application pool that is run with an AD user that i'm running into the issues.
>> I don't really care if they authenticate to the server or not tbh I just want their username to track who's submitting entries into the site.
yes, I understand that, but the users MUST authenticate to the site else the application doesn't know who they are - thus IIS can't display who it is in server variables.
Cheers.
The change of application name is your clue - when you change the application identity, then authentication stops. That is where your investigation needs to go. I can't think of any reason that might be so, therefore the best help I can give you is to identify the root cause of the problem.
If this were happening to me, I would look over the security access rights on all the relevant content folders and see what access the interactive users have to that content. Somehow, IIS is getting access to the folders without authenticating the user - so it is allowing the IUSR access.
Cheers.
The only way to populate that variable is with 'Anonymous' access off and another authentication selected such as Basic or Windows. This has nothing to do with the worker process that interacts with the operating system. This is strictly related to the authentication challenge response in the headers when a page is requested.
When authentication is configured and the browser requests a page the web server sends an authentication required header to the client browser with the type of authentication required. The browser then sends the authentication response which in Windows or Basic authentication includes the users logon.

Hi,
if Request.ServerVariables("L
try disabling windows integrated auth to see if you can make the login dialog come up.
Cheers.
