.NET Forum / ASP.NET / Web Services / March 2008WCF - Client Credentials (Username/Password) - ASP.NET Membership
I am using the ASP.NET Membership provider for username/password authentication with my WCF service, and this authentication process is working fine, however I am unable to obtain the authenticated username within my WCF service. I need to know the username for database accessing purposes. I am using the <serviceHostingEnvironment aspNetCompatibilityEnabled="true"/> in the web.config and [AspNetCompatibilityRequirements(RequirementsMode = AspNetCompatibilityRequirementsMode.Required)] attribute on the WCF Service class. Upon entry to the WCF Service, System.Web.HttpContext.Current is not null, however System.Web.HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name is zero length and System.Web.HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.IsAuthenticated == false. Please HELP....how can I access the authenticated username. I know ASP.NET Membership authentication is working, because I can change the password in the client credentials to an invalid value, and the WCF service fails with security exception.

In WCF you can get the authenticated user in one of two ways: either ServiceSecurityContext.Current.WindowsIdentity.* or OperationContext.Current.ServiceSecurityContext.WindowsIdentity.* Namespace is System.ServiceModel.

Ooops, sorry, I missed the custom username/password. I thought it was Windows auth. Never tried custom username/password with membership, because on my scenario I used a username token with a custom authorization scheme built around Parameter Inspectors. I built a custom service/client credential so I would be able to delegate token on downstream calls and was able to have it inside ServiceSecurityContext.Current.PrimaryIdentity. Don't know if it helps.

Thanks....I already have my question answered....I am using System.Threading.Thread.CurrentPrincipal.Identity.Name SignaturePhilip > Ooops, sorry, I missed the custom username/password.

Strange, System.Web.HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name works OK for me in a simple test project. > Thanks....I already have my question answered....I am using > System.Threading.Thread.CurrentPrincipal.Identity.Name Can you email me your sample app to plippard@sanibellogic.com ? Presumably....you are using the Membership provider for authentication ? Thanks SignaturePhilip > Strange, System.Web.HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name works OK for me in > a simple test project. > > > Thanks....I already have my question answered....I am using > > System.Threading.Thread.CurrentPrincipal.Identity.Name I have reviewed your code.....and your code is working because you are conducting a separate login step via an attended login web web page. I am attempting to login at WCF service call time...using the WCF ClientCredentials set of values within the WCF proxy....as illustrated below... ProductsSvc.ProductsSvcClient productsSvcProxy = new ProductsSvc.ProductsSvcClient(); productsSvcProxy.ClientCredentials.UserName.UserName = "JackBenny"; productsSvcProxy.ClientCredentials.UserName.Password = "helloworld"; productsSvcProxy.GetProductListCompleted += new EventHandler<ProductsSvc.GetProductListCompletedEventArgs>(productsSvc_GetProductListingCompleted); productsSvcProxy.GetProductListAsync(); I have to examine the System.Threading.Thread.CurrentPrincipal.Identity value to obtain the Membership Provider logged-in username. I can not get the Username by looking at the compatibility values....as discussed earlier in my problem description.
