WCF UserNamePasswordValidator - Access credentials after validation

Question

I am using the UserNamePasswordValidator class as part of the UserName security with WCF. This all works great and the Validate function of the class gets called and works properly.

How then can I find out what UserName was used in my service functions?

For example say if a client connects and requests a list of logs using something like

IList<Log> Logs() { ... }

How can that function know which UserName was used on that request?

What I want to do is log what UserName calls what function within the service.

Not sure, but you may be looking for

var userName = OperationContext.Current.ServiceSecurityContext.PrimaryIdentity.Name;
