Querying the current user's identity using WindowsIdentity?

Question

I'm using WindowsIdentity to get the current user's ID to do SSO. For the most part, I'm getting exactly what I want, but for some users I'm getting odd results. Example code:

IIdentity WinId = HttpContext.Current.User.Identity;
WindowsIdentity wi = (WindowsIdentity)WinId;
String idName = wi.Name.Replace(@"TESTHQ\", "");

Sometimes I get [email protected] and I'm then able to sign in. Other times I get [email protected]/[email protected].

Is there a place where I can see the current identity using Windows 7? Like in Control Panel or something?

Thanks!

Then you can change your code to split the values on /

try

WindowsIdentity MyIdentity = WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent();
