  Logged In User ID in Web App Returns machinename\ASPNET

  Feb 02, 2013 01:53 AM|LINK

  When I run my app on the server (http://MyServer/MyDev/Default.aspx) it returns machinename\ASPNET which I display on the page.

  If I run this app on my local then it is fine. 

  Here is the code I am using to get the user name:

  if (User.Identity.IsAuthenticated)
                  {
                      lblUserID.Text = User.Identity.Name;
                  }
                  else
                  {
                      lblUserID.Text = "No user identity available.";
                  }

  <authentication mode="Forms">

  <system.web>
     <authentication mode="Forms">
        <forms forms="401kApp" loginUrl="/login.aspx" />

  I don't want to use another page for login (login.aspx).  The user is already logged on to his computer and wants to run this web application which needs his or her log on user id for some processing.
