    copied!<p>I'm trying to retrieve the logged in windows user in a WCF service. I've tried using ServiceSecurityContext but Current is always null.</p> <pre><code>ServiceSecurityContext.Current.WindowsIdentity.Name </code></pre> <p>I've also tried using OperationContext. In this case ServiceSecurityContext returns as null.</p> <pre><code>OperationContext.Current.ServiceSecurityContext.PrimaryIdentity.Name </code></pre> <p>Here's my web.config:</p> <pre><code> &lt;bindings&gt; &lt;basicHttpBinding&gt; &lt;binding name="HttpWindowsBinding"&gt; &lt;security mode="TransportCredentialOnly"&gt; &lt;transport clientCredentialType="Windows" /&gt; &lt;/security&gt; &lt;/binding&gt; &lt;/basicHttpBinding&gt; &lt;/bindings&gt; </code></pre> <p>also</p> <pre><code>&lt;authentication mode="Windows"/&gt; </code></pre> <p>Can anyone see what I'm doing wrong?</p> <p>UPDATE: I abandoned trying to get ServiceSecurityContext to work. In the end, I found a solution by setting aspNetCompatibilityEnabled="true".</p> <pre><code>&lt;serviceHostingEnvironment multipleSiteBindingsEnabled="true" aspNetCompatibilityEnabled="true" /&gt; </code></pre> <p>I also added the following attribute to my service class:</p> <pre><code>[System.ServiceModel.Activation.AspNetCompatibilityRequirements(RequirementsMode = System.ServiceModel.Activation.AspNetCompatibilityRequirementsMode.Required)] </code></pre> <p>This allowed me to retrieve the windows user with:</p> <pre><code>HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name </code></pre>
