I am using HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name to get the user name when the web application is in use. During development I was using my local iis, with integrated windows authentication enabled and anonymous access enabled and disabled, and I was able to get the username.
Now, when I publish the web application, it comes back blank. The setup on the published server is the same, and I have tried using Page.User.Identity.Name, which also returned blank.
Does anyone know why this is and how to fix it?

It just holds the username of the user that is currently logged in. After login successful authentication, the username is automatically stored by login authentication system to "HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name" property.
You can achieve this by manually settings HttpContext. User: var identity = new ClaimsIdentity("Custom"); HttpContext. User = new ClaimsPrincipal(identity);
When working with WIF you should use Thread.CurrentPrincipal.Identity.Name instead of User.Identity.Name.

HttpContext.Current.Request.LogonUserIdentity.Name always work for me in VS 2012 environment and IIS 7
