Is it possible for me to get the actual windows user account that a user is
logged in on their computer as? If they are logged on and authenticated on
my network, can I get that username from my web page? I hope this makes
sense. Thanks.

Not if the website is anonymous. What authentication does is your website
using?

Is you are using windows auth for the site (as well as from IIS) and as
impersonation turned on then answer is yer.
HttpContext.Cur rent.User

I'm using the new asp.net 2.0 membership stuff for security. So, yes, it is
anonymous.

Then I don't think so because IIS is not challenging the client for
credentials so it does not know who the person is.

Yes, if you turn on Windows authentication in
IIS, and disable anonymous. Then you force network
login and can get the user account, but obviously
not the password. This is often done for Intranet
apps that need to be accessible from the Internet,
or when you need to restrict access to app functions
based on the logged-in user.

If this is a local intranet site, then yes you can - almost certainly
dependent upon configuration.
If this is a public Internet site, then no you can't - almost certainly
under any circumstances. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |

I'm having a credentialing problem in my web application. Actually, I don't

I'm really starting to hate writing services -- or trying to, anyway.
Why do I need to rename my project to the service name?
Why do I need to set the "ServiceName" property to my service name?
Why do I need to set a property within my code to the service name?
Are all these required or am I just doing this for consistency purposes?

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows.

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
