    text
    copied!<p>I am working on a hosted ASP.Net application, with Windows Authentication, and I need to get the username for various personalisation tasks. The directory on the host machine is set to have Windows Authentication and the <code>web.config</code> file also has:-</p> <pre><code>&lt;authentication mode="Windows"&gt; &lt;/authentication&gt; </code></pre> <p>in it. I have tried various methods within the application to get the user name with the following results:-</p> <pre><code>Source Result System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Request.LogonUserIdentity.Name 'EZ\urlname_a' System.Environment.UserName 'NETWORK SERVICE' System.Web.HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name '' this.Request.ServerVariables["LOGON_USER"] '' this.Request.ServerVariables["AUTH_USER"] '' this.User.Identity.Name '' </code></pre> <p>thanks to the answers <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/19249887/reading-windows-credentials">here</a>, <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/15280402/get-client-user-name-from-a-web-application-running-in-a-web-server-with-windows">here</a>, and <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5000100/request-logonuseridentity-name-returns-asp-net-server-credential-not-the-users-c">here</a>, among others. None of these distinguish between the various usernames that were entered.</p> <p>Is there anything else I can try in code to get the name (or some proxy for the name)? Is there anything I can check for in <code>web.config</code>? Or if I need to take the matter up with the host, is there any intelligent question I can ask?</p> <p><strong>Edit</strong> I have set the application directory and .Net version using the host's IIS Dialogue.</p>
