How to get the network userid

[sileesh]

Hi

I have a weird problem.

I am using User.Identity.Name() in my application to get the Logged in person Network ID.

In one application it retruns the correct Network userid. But in the other applications it says it cannot get the Network UserId.

In both the applications i have set "<authentication mode="Windows" />
<identity impersonate="true"></identity>" in my web.config file.

I don't understand where i am going wrong .

Am i missing something ? ls let me know

You'll also need to ensure that IIS is setup to authenticate the user based on their network ID, which means you'll have to disable all anonymous access to the page.

I think it might be your IIS settings.
You should disable Anonymous access (for each of your web apps) if you want
to be able to get their Windows userid.

the network log in is only known with iis authenticated pages. you can leave
the site anonymous, but send a 401 error if user is not authenticated.
