asp.net & windows nt login name
Posted on 2007-11-27
hey guys -
i've read a lot of people asking questions on this topic and i can't get any of their solutions to make sense to me.
right off, i'll ask - i have an asp.net website (c# backend). i'm trying to return the logged in user name (windows NT name) to my code. my IIS site is set up via anon auth.
is there any way that i can make this happen? here's a snippet that just returns an empty field for the username.
thanks guys!!

string userName = HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name.ToString();
string[] username = new string[10];
username = userName.Split('\\');
userName = username[1].ToString();
int wellid = 0;
//open up connection to server
String conString = GetConnectionString();
TextBox1.Text = userName;
if (Request.QueryString["add"] != null)
{
wellid = int.Parse(Request.QueryString["add"].ToString());
try
{
SqlConnection connDB = new SqlConnection(conString);
connDB.Open();
SqlCommand cmdDB = connDB.CreateCommand();
cmdDB.CommandText = "INSERT INTO MAP.USERSELECTION (userid, welloid) select '" + userName +
"'," + wellid;
cmdDB.ExecuteNonQuery();
connDB.Close();
TextBox1.Text = "Item added to your list! You can close this browser!";
}
catch { }
}

1. Set <authentication mode="Windows"/> in your web config. check that the mode is set to Windows.
2. You can get the login name by using Request.ServerVariables("L

If you want to get the Windows NT username you have to enable integrated windows authentication,It can be a internet or Intranet.Both will work fine
if it is internet, my users will have to input a username/password that authenticates with the server hosting the site, right?

> my IIS site is set up via anon auth.
it is by design, if you do allow anonymous authentication and windows authentication at the same time. not only HttpContext.Current.User.I
as per MS KB article Q306359, you need to deny access to the anonymous user in the <authorization> section of the Web.config file, or use windows authentication only in the Web.config file. for more information, please read the following KB articles. Q306359 gives the resolution step by step.
