client login name

[catweezle2010]

Hello,

I have to identify the user of an asp.net site by his windows login
name (like environment.cur rentuser in Access). Till a few days I'm
trying several scripts I've found. For example one like this:
strLogonName =
System.Security .Principal.Wind owsIdentity.Get Current().Name

The best result was to display the asp-account on the Server. But I
need the username on the client.

We are working in a windows2k environment with iis 6 and asp.net 1.1.

Thanks for help!

Re: client login name

Give HttpContext.Use r.Identity.Name a try...pretty sure that's what
you're looking for.

If your site allows anonymous access (in IIS !), then you will never get
a login-name. So clear that checkbox.
Then you can use
this.Page.User as WindowsPrincipa l
to get at the login data.

Thanks - now have an error which I had not before:
Compiler Error Message: BC30469: Reference to a non-shared member
requires an object reference.
The code: strLogonName = HttpContext.Use r.Identity.Name

RE: client login name

In your scenario, you can

1) Set Windows authentication:
in Web.Config file
<authenticati on mode="Windows"/>

2) Deny anonymous access
in Web.Config file
<authorizatio n>
<deny users="?" /> <!-- Deny anonymous users -->
<allow users="*"/> <!-- Allow all other users -->
</authorization>

3) Then use
User.Identity.N ame
to get Domain_Name\Use r_Win_Login_ID

Re: client login name

Thanks to all, a long search is ending here.

@Elton W: I allready used user.identity.n ame but failed.

My settings in IIS an web.config were right, but it seems they do not
work without the <autorization > part in web.config.

So thanks a lot. Maybe you can help me in my next post (loosing session
value).

add a "Current" inbetween:
HttpContext.Cur rent.User.Ident ity.Name
