Difference between HttpContext.Cur rent.User.Ident ity and identity Impersonation

Hello Group,

I using impersonation on my web app. I am explicitely setting the User with
the identity element in the web.config like this:
<identity impersonate="tr ue" userName="MyUsr " password="MyPas s" />
But if I ask for HttpContext.Cur rent.User.Ident ity.Name it returns my
personal Login name, in the format DOMAIN\USERNAME .
Shouldn't they be the same? Shouldn't it return MACHINE\MyUsr?

Tks to all the replies,

Suppose you have one domain, filled with a couple of users. What needs to be done now is I need to start a windows application from a webform by pressing a button on the webform (for example). The problem is that the user who "owns" the service is always the ASPNET account. That's not good since you don't see the actual application (because it's owned by ASPNET). I've tried changed the processmodel section in the machine.config file to...

I have a serious issue that seems to be intermittent with User.Identity.Name. In an environment where about 100+ users are logging on to a site with forms authentication, calling HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name returns the correctly logged on user. However, 10% of the time (I'm guessing under stress conditions or simulataneous requests), the wrong user info is being returned.

DOMAIN\oldusername instead of DOMAIN\newusername. The user is logged in with this new username and when we make a windows client .NET call to...

Hi, I am using HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name to get a user id from a web application. I then use that as part of a name of a cookie I'm writing. 30 minutes later I do a refresh of this page and try to access that cookie. However, because I am using HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name to get the user id to know what that cookie name even is, I am having problems because apparently after 30 minutes...

We changed a username in AD. The user now logs on to a computer on our network using the new username without any problems. They can not logon using the old username. However, when they access a IIS 6.0 web site where a programmer compares system.web.httpcontext.current.user.identity.name to a lookup table containing usernames they could not gain access with the new userid. We created a web page to show what...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Hello I'm a network technician in training and I need your help. I am currently learning how to create and manage the different types of VPNs and I have a question about LAN-to-LAN VPNs.
