  What Will be the Username Value If I Debuged ASPX Webform on IIS 8.0 - Windows 2012 Server?

  Oct 23, 2017 10:38 PM|alihusain_77|LINK

  I am running on Windows 2012 Server, IIS 8.0,

  The website TrackingDesk is added to this sever.

  C:\inetpub\wwwroot\TrackingDesk\...

  For the purpose of debugging, I install Visual Studio 2015.

  My question is that when I run the VS 2015, and run the following statement:

  System.Web.HttpContext.Current.User.identity.Name

  Will I get the Windows Logon username?

  If you're in a domain, probably and have windows authentication enabled and basic turned off, probably. If you're not part of a domain and/or don't have windows authentication turned on, probably not. You'll probably get the user account the application pool is running under, if anything.

  Hi alihusain,

  alihusain_77

  My question is that when I run the VS 2015, and run the following statement:

  System.Web.HttpContext.Current.User.identity.Name

  Will I get the Windows Logon username?

  To achieve this, please enable the Windows Authentication on IIS Express using the following steps:

  1. Click on your project in the Solution Explorer to select the project.
  2. If the Properties pane is not open, open it (F4).
  3. In the Properties pane for your project:   a) Set "Anonymous Authentication" to "Disabled".   b) Set "Windows Authentication" to  "Enabled".

  

  Best Regards,

  Jean
