Impersonate User asp.net

[richi]

Hi...

Okay this is driving me mad. I have a very simple webpage served up from my
webserver which uses the following code to populate 3 labels.

lblOne.Text = Page.User.Identity.Name
lblTwo.Text = System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity.GetCurre nt().Name
lblThree.Text = System.Threading.Thread.CurrentPrincipal.Identity. Name

In my web.config file I have :-

<authentication mode="Windows" />
<identity impersonate="true"/>

<authorization>
<deny users = "?" />
<allow users ="*" />
</authorization>

So when i call the url to display the page from my machine the labels are
populated as below:-

someserver\administrator
someserver\administrator
someserver\administrator

but i was expecting the identity of the person calling the webpage something
like:-

ad\rich

What am i doing wrong or have i totally failed to grasp the impersonating
topic at all. I am running Windows 2003 with IIS 6

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Many thanks

Hi Rich,
Do you mean you logged in using your domain account? or the local
administrator of the server?
Do you have the same response if you deployed this code in another
server/workstation?

Hello and thanks for replying.

I can confirm that the virtual directory running under IIS6 on my server has
annonymous authentication disabled and windows integrated security enabled.

I am attempting to browse to the virtual directory on the server from my
machine and was expecting to see the useridentity as my domain logon but i
get the domain logon of the administrator of the server where the virtual
directory resides.

Very confused!

Thanks

Rich

Do you use a virtual directory that points to another server ? Is the
credentials you see those you entered to get access to this remote directory
?

What if you try an ASPX page that is really on the Web server ?

It would likely helps to narrow down the problem. For now it would make me
think that when accessing another server the identity is the one used to
connect to the virtual directory not the original. For now I have never done
that (my personal preference is to have identically set up sites and to
share only data, not code between servers).

Try also to check ServerVariables("LOGON_USER") or similar...

Good luck

Thanks Patrice

I have moved the code to another server and set up a virtual directory on
that server with the same code and disabled annonymous authentication and
everything works fine now... i can see the local login of the person
requesting the page.

My problem is I need it to work from the other server. For some reason it
shows me that the server administrator is the one requesting the page... ie
server\administrator instead of AD\richi.

I know its not the code and I know I have the security settings correct as I
have replicated on the other server. All requests to the web page seem to be
authenticated as the servers administrator instead of the local machine login.

Even more confused...

Thanks

Hi Rich,
This makes me think of the machine.config file resides in the %System
folder%\Microsoft.Net\Framework\%Framework version%\Config.
Please revise the <system.Web> tag and the <location> tag just above it
<location allowOverride="true">
<system.web>

Make sure that allowOverride=true not false and check the settings under
System.Web to see if there's something different than the other server.

Thanks,
