I have a feeling that Request.ServerVariables("AUTH_USER") and User.Identity.Name return the same string while using FormsAuthentication.So my question is as simple as that. Which one should i better use?

View 1 RepliesI have an ASP.NET app that logs Audit reports using nHibernate's IPreUpdateListener. In order to set the current user in the Listener events, I was using System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent(). This works fine when debugging on my machine, but when I move it to the staging server, I'm getting the ASP.NET process credentials, not the requesting user.
In the ASP.NET page, I can use Request.LogonUserIdentity (which works fine since I'm using integrated authentication), but how do I reference this user directly without having to pass it directly to my event? I don't want to have to pass this info through the pipeline because it really doesn't belong in the intermediate events/calls.
What are the differences (behind the scenes) between Page.User.Identity and Request.LogonUserIdentity? Not the differences in type, name, etc but the differences in how they're implemented behind the scenes (i.e. one calls windows xxx api and the other calls asp.net xxx api...).

I am trying to run this log routine in a separate thread in order to improve page load performance but I am getting an error in the line bellow: "object not set to an instance of a variable".
line error: strTempBrowser = System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Request.ServerVariables["HTTP_USER_AGENT"].ToString();
I am suspecting that Request.ServerVariables are not available during the time that the thread executes. Is there a workaround?
Page Base Class
//STATISTICS
SiteStatisticsLite sStat = new SiteStatisticsLite();

I'm using IIS 7.0 on WS2008. I've implemented a simple login page that redirects to another simple page showing the Request.ServerVariables key/values. I'm using the built-in SQL membership provider. The website is on a DEV machine and there are no users on it.
When I login at the same time with 2 different users from 2 different locations (2 different public addresses) then one of the Request.ServerVariables page is the same as the other. That includes the client IP address which is then completely wrong. The authentication as well as the other cookies are wrong as well.
I checked the IIS log and it shows the correct client address as well as the correct login name. If I then reload the wrong page I get the correct data. Is there some concurrency issue in ASP.NET? I disabled the session and caching but I still get the same behaviour.
i have created a custom principal class, and a custom Identity.
named SystemIdentity and SystemPrincipal.
SystemIdentity class has some additional properties ( UserID, UserName, Age, ...)
in my Global.asax file I changed PostAuthenticateRequest event as bottom

i wonder theese questions answer now:
1. where i can assign the additional properties of SystemIdentity ( UserID, UserName, Age, ...)
2. which Identity is Authenticated by FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie? is my custom Identity, or GenericIdentity?
In an asynchronous process, I need to get the name of the domain/server the web application is running on. But in that situation HttpContext.Current is not available, so I cant use HttpContext.Current.Request.ServerVariables("SERVER_NAME").

I am developing an internal application in .NET which tracks computer name and give access only if they match users which are in a users table in database. When i tested in my local machine and in production server, I am able to get computer name. But for few users the application just don't work since Request.ServerVariables["REMOTE_USER"] is returning empty values. For myself and even for few users we can get computer name with Request.ServerVariables["REMOTE_USER"] but for few users it returns empty values.I even tried using Request.ServerVariables["LOGON_USER"] and WindowsIdentity funtions, but still getting empty values.
View 3 RepliesI'm not using any built in authentication mechanism, just building a simple intranet site that requires logon.BUT i was asked to retrieve the current windows logon name of the user, and authenticate him with this information.When reading the Request.ServerVariables("LOGON_USER") information from my box, everything runs fine. But this value is always blank when the application is running with IIS on my server.
View 1 RepliesI am using Form Authentication and sending an Aajx request to the server for authentication. Based on the json result, the client decides where to go and what to do. That is the reason I am not using FormsAuthentication.RedirectFromLoginPage to not interfere the ajax/json response.In this case Request.IsAuthenticated returns false, even after validating the user with Membership.ValidateUser. Then I set the cookie using FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie(username, false)

What is the difference between the three ASP.NET objects:

Are these exactly the same?
Edit 1
Do these objects behave differently inside global.asax/global.asax.vb and default.aspx/default.aspx.vb.

OK I'll try to be specific this time. Which of the following should I use:
' File: global.asax
