get windows login

[=?Utf-8?B?Q2hpV2hpdGVTb3g=?=]

i have a webapp that needs to get the windows login of a user and maps it to
my roles database.

im using VS2005 and when i run it im able to get it using
Windowsprincipa l.Getuser().Nam e.

but after i put it into production server, (c:\inetpub\www root\webapp ) and
run it on my browser, the username it gets was : COMPUTERNAME\AS PNET

You're missing the fact that by default, ASP.NET sites are accessed
anonymously and sites will run under the credentials of the ASPNET account.

See http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa480475.aspx for more
information on using Windows Authentication in ASP.NET.
