I am developing an intranet and was wondering, when a user logs on is there
a way to get the username of the windows account in asp.net.

I have tried the following but they return the worker process username e.g
DOMAIN\ASPNET

Can somone suggest a way or provide some code the get the username of the
logged on account in windows

Thanks
Jonathan Dixon

User.Identity.Name.ToString();

System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent().Name.ToString();

I have came accross a problem when putting it on a server it ust get the
servers logon name,

Is there a way, it will be a intranet and users will logon with the user
account onto windows, the intranet web page will then appear, i want the
intranet web page to get the account name from the person logged on to the
computer in the asp.net page.

I hope that is clear i am not sure how to phrase it so

if i logon as

Jonathan

the asp.net webpage would get Jonathan

at the same time a colleague logs on to windows as andrew, the intranet web
page loads up and get his username which is andrew.

Any idea how to do this.

Hi Jonathan.

I am not sure I understand you correctly, but I think you should use
Integrated Security to do just that.
I saw a wonderful article on what to use in different setups on MSDN, but I
can't remember the URL.

Try searching on MSDN for Integrated Security Intranet
