Active Directory IIS needs to get user logged in from client not @ server
Hi
I have an intranet site behind a highly secure firewall. I need to get the user at the client that is logged in
I am using this in c# in a web forms application
using System.DirectoryServices;
using System.DirectoryServices.A
using System.Security.Principal;
...
....
....
String UserName = System.Security.Principal.
It gives me the account of the server. I need to get the username of the person logged in at the client.
How can I do this? Any way to make it pass through from to IIS? Maybe turn anonymous access off?
Thank You

Turning off anonymous access would be a good first step. Perhaps consider using Windows Integrated Authentication for your application.
Then you can use this to retrieve the user:
Then you can use this to retrieve the user:
WindowsIdentity identity = HttpContext.Current.Request.LogonUserIdentity
You need to activate impersonation:
- Using IIS Authentication with ASP.NET Impersonation
- Configure ASP.NET Impersonation Authentication (IIS 7)
Important: do this in collaboration with your domain and network administrator.
