    AUTH_USER blank when using HttpContext.Current

    I have an application that uses Forms Authentication in connection with
    Active Directory for granting access to an application. When a user logs on
    with AD, it populates the AUTH_USER ServerVariable and I can then use:

    Request.ServerV eriables["AUTH_USER"]

    to retrieve the value of this variable or any other value in the
    ServerVariableC ollection.


    A problem occurs when from an external class reference I use the following

    HttpContext.Cur rent.Request.Se rverVeraibes["AUTH_USER"]

    The value is always blank. If Im requesting the Current context of the
    application referring the class, why is it blank. Other server values in the
    ServerVariable collection are accessible both internal and externally. Why
    not this one? If I request the variable both before creating the external
    class reference and after its completed, its there.
