Windows User ID - Visual Basic .NET

Tom Hoogeboom

I am writing an application for an intranet. Is there an easy way to find
out the Windows identity of a user sending a request for a report? I would
like to be able to grant and restrict privileges for certain reports based
on the user's Windows logon ID rather than have her/him log on to the
application in a separate process.

I've tried the system.security.principal.windowsidentity route without
success.

Help?
