User Identity

Joe

I check for the NTLogin of a user by
Page.User.Ident ity.Name,

but when I put the app on the server the value for
Page.User.Ident ity.Name is ""

I had the <allow users="*/> attribute commented out on my
machine and had <deny users="?"/>

how do I do this on the server to get the user NTLogin
name

thanks

Does your web site require authentication? If not, everyone is logging in as
anonymous.

Make sure you uncheck Anonymous access in IIS for your vitual directory.
Check Integrated Windows authenticaiton.

Add <authenticati on mode="Windows" /> to web.config.

I wouldn't mess with the <allow/deny users> until you can read the username.

Thanks a lot guys, Everyone was logging in anonymously

I have 2 more questions and would appreciate if you guys
could answer

what happens when I make a setup and this is deployed on
the server.Is it anonymous access by default on the
server.

If so how can I authorize users in an intranet to access
the web page without the username/password dialog coming
up and at the same time get the NT Login of the user
Thanks for all your help

These permissions are managed by IIS. By default, web sites in IIS allow
anonymous access.
If so how can I authorize users in an intranet to access

Authentication method is in the Properties dialog of your web site in the
IIS snap-in. You need to disallow anonymous access, and use Windows
Integrated Authentication.

In the user's IE, in the Security tab of the Internet Options dialog,
clicking "Custom Level" will bring up a detailed dialog of settings. At the
bottom is "User Authentication. " Set it to automatically log in with current
User Name and Password. This will stop the dialog from coming up, as long as
the user is logged into the domain that the server is using.

Kevin,

I have made the changes accordingly, but what happens
when my application is deployed on a server to be
accessible for all the people in the intranet.

The dialog would come up for all the users.Is there a way
to bypass this.

Hi Joe,

You've got 2 choices: 1. Allow anonymous access. 2. Don't allow anonymous
access. If you want certain parts of the site to be only for intranet users,
I would suggest putting them on a separate web or sub-web (separate
application).
