The following line
Environment.UserName
In debug mode in visual studio returns the identity of the user like I need.
Then when I set up my site in IIS and run the code the same line returns the name of the application pool which the site uses.
How can I get it to still return the user name ?
Try something like this:
if (System.Web.HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.IsAuthenticated)
{
string username = System.Web.HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name;
}
Important note: You need to configure IIS to enable integrated security and disable anonymous logon.
Note that Environment.Username
returns the Username on the current Thread.
