.NET Forum / ASP.NET / General / March 20082005-FormsAuthentication, Httpcontext.current.user is always nothi
I am using visual studio 2005, i manually addded global.asax.vb and changed global.asax to use the code behind. When i step into the authenticate request, i get the HttpContext.current.user as nothing always. AM i missing anyhting ?, has the implementation of forms authentication changed in Visual studio 2005. What are the things i should look at. I am always getting HttpContext.current.User as nothing. Imports Microsoft.VisualBasic Imports System Imports System.Web Imports System.Web.SessionState Imports System.Security.Principal Public Class [Global] Inherits System.Web.HttpApplication Private Sub Global_AuthenticateRequest(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.AuthenticateRequest Dim UserName As String = "" Try UserName = HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name.ToString Catch ex As Exception End Try End Sub End Class  Signaturen Are you using Windows Authentication? If not, the HttpContext.current.user is the anonymous user, as that is what windows is using. If you are using forms authentication, you will want to set up some form of Membership. THe Membership provider model, custom or standard, is fairly decent for this. Still will not yield something on HttpContext.current.user, but you will be able to find info on the Profile object from Membership. SignatureGregory A.

If you are using the Login control, you can use the UserName property to identify the user.

I have already developed the code in 2003, which is working fine. Now the new project is developed in 2005, and am copying the same code. I don't understand why, i can't access it in global.asax, as i need to add roles. I understand that on the first request it will be nothing, but it is nothing even after authentication and on every subsequent request, and at the same time i am able to access httpcontext in the other page except in global.asax. I don't want to go for provider model. Signaturen > I am using visual studio 2005, i manually addded global.asax.vb and changed > global.asax to use the code behind.
