How to read a user id

[Dave Tichenor]

We are using windows authication (ADS) for a Sharepoint Portal web Site.

How can get the user who log in - we have a asp.net form that emails - and
would like to automically put them name in the message - so we know who it
came from.

thanks

Hi Dave,
Thanks for posting in the community!
From your description, you'd like to get the loged user's
username(idenitity) in your ASP.NET web application. And you're using the
Windows Authentication and also integrated the share-point portal
server,yes?
If there is anything I misunderstood, please feel free to let me know.

As for this problem, I think Kevin's suggestion that use the
Request.ServerVariables("LOGON_USER") is reasonable since the
Request.ServerVariables collection has many useful infos, more detailed
info on them, you can view the following reference in MSDN:

#Request.ServerVariables Collection
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en...qocsv.asp?fram
e=true

In addtion, as you're using the Windows Authentication in ASP.NET you can
also try the "HttpContext.Current.User"
it also contained the currently authenticated user's info. Here is the
detailed description on it in MSDN:

#HttpContext.User Property
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en...webhttpcontext
classusertopic.asp?frame=true

and here is another tech article discussing on the Authentication and
Authorization model in ASP.NET:
#Authentication and Authorization

Hope they're helpful.
