I created a site. It is an internal site. It is a .NET 4.0 site. I would like to grab the username using HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name of the person browsing the site. There isnt a login page since it is internal. I am not sure what I am missing. Do I need the following in my webconfig:
<authentication mode="Windows"></authentication>
<identity impersonate="true"/>
<authorization>
<allow users="?"/>
</authorization>
and this:
<system.webServer>
<validation validateIntegratedModeConfiguration="false" />

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);
HttpContext isn't thread-safe.
It comes up blank when unauthenticated. You can verify this by also doing:
HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.IsAuthenticated
Check your authentication level in IIS, is it set to enable windows authentication there too?
