IIS Issue: WindowsIdentity Name returning NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM

    IIS Issue: WindowsIdentity Name returning NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM

    Does anyone know why System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent().Name would return “NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM”?  When testing on my local server, my Windows ID is returned as expected.  However when running on an Intranet server, it returns “NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM”.

     

    Any suggestions on how to get the user’s Windows ID?!?

     

    TIA,

    Doug

    Re: IIS Issue: WindowsIdentity Name returning NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM

    I resolved this issue (a day after my posting) by adding the following three lines to my web.config:

    <identity impersonate="true"/>
    <authentication mode="Windows"/>
    <anonymousIdentification enabled="false"/>

    <identity impersonate="true"/>
    <authentication mode="Windows"/>
    <anonymousIdentification enabled="false"/>
