Iis 7.5 Dns Windows Authentication Page User Identity Not Working?
Feb 7, 2011
In IIS 7.5 server I have a website apps.mydomain.com. Site binding for this website is:
IP: All Unassigned
Port: 80
Host name: apps.mydomain.com
In DNS there is an ip address pointing to apps.mydomain.com. Site comes up fine when browsing to this hostname.
I want to get current windows logged in username from asp.net web apps. I enabled windows authentication and disabled anonymous. Using this ASP.Net code to test:
Response.Write(Page.User.Identity.Name);
However, browsing to http://apps.mydomain.com/site/ the application pool identity shows as the Page.User.Identity.Name value and not the current windows logged in username.
If I browse to http://servername/site/ then Page.User.Identity.Name will return current windows logged in username.
Is there something else I need to configure to get the current windows logged in username when using host header?
web.config:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<configuration>
<system.web>
<authentication mode="Windows"/>
</system.web>
</configuration>
App pool config (left out "handlers" for brevity, there's a 30000 char limit):

I want to know if this kind of authentication is possible.
We have an Active Directory account and that account we are using to log in to windows. I have a simple system that needs authentication using the IIS log in box (i dont know what do you call this but what I know is it only comes out when Anonymous user is unchecked in the IIS configuration.) Now, I want this box to appear before my page and the user will be authenticated and be compare to the user who logged in to the windows. If the user who have been authenticated is the same as the user who logged in to the windwos then we will let him in if not he must be denied in accessing the page.
The first problem I have in my mind is how to code it in asp.net to make an authentication when he will try to access my page.
Second is, let us say we have succeeded to show the authentication box, how can I get the username from the log in box and compare it to the user who logged on in windows. Of course we can get the user id of the logged in user from the windows using User.Identity.Name but how about the username from the log in box.
Note: I will not use log in forms even using https. Just the log in provided by the IIS according to the configuration.

In the IIS, it shows that the web app (i'm using) is using an application pool that uses NETWORK SERVICE account for identity. But when I debug/run my web app, User.Identity.Name shows that my windows user login instead. I checked my web.config file, and it does not have Impersonate enabled. In fact, I set it to false, and it still shows the same.

I am using forms authentication and have an issue with a particular browser using the remember me feature. For various reasons I want to support the opera browser that works with the nintendo dsi. I can use forms authentication with that browser just fine but when I use the remember me (cookie) feature I can get through the login but then calls to User.Identity.IsAuthenticated return false. If I do not check remember me it works fine. Initially I thought the browser didn't support cookies but it does. At least I can go to m.gmail.com and check their version of remember me and it works. I can exit the browser and come back in and m.gmail.com remembers me. Also I don't have problems with remember me on any other browser I have tried.
Is anyone aware of some specific browser issue that doesn't work with asp.net forms authentication? I am using asp.net mvc but I doubt that matters.

I have this web application where I need the currently logged in windows user Identity. I server on which I deployed this application does not support virtual directories. And I am not sure if that server is configured for "Integrated Windows Authentication."
I tried using:
System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent().Name;
Request.ServerVariables["AUTH_USER"];
HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name;
All these work and retrieve the appropriate currently logged in windows username when the application isn't deployed. But when I deploy it on this particular server, these methods do not give me nothing.

I am having a problem with security in a web application I am building using Visual Web Developer 2008. I am using Forms Authentication:
<authentication mode="Forms">
<forms name=".MYAUTH" timeout="20" enableCrossAppRedirects="true" />
</authentication>
And a SQL Server database with ASP.NET Membership and Roles. I am using the LoginView control with the AnonymousTemplate and LoggedInTemplate to manage the user's interaction with logging in and out. The problem I am having is that I am authenticating the user against the database:
If Membership.ValidateUser(_userName, _txtLoginPass.Text)
Then returns True and:
FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie(_userName, False)
sets the cookie correctly:
FormsAuthentication.Decrypt(FormsAuthentication.GetAuthCookie(_userName, False).Values(0))
{System.Web.Security.FormsAuthenticationTicket} CookiePath: "/"
Expiration: #1/21/2010 1:42:27 PM#
Expired: False
IsPersistent: False
IssueDate: #1/21/2010 1:22:27 PM#
Name: "jaymo "
UserData: ""
Version: 2
but when I check
HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.IsAuthenticated it always returns False.
If done this before and it worked fine. I cannot find any mistake I might have made or where something might have changed between ASP.NET 2.0 and 3.5.

I'm trying to hit my intranet website and get it to run a simple sql query as the windows user I'm logged in as.
When I debug through Visual Studio, everything works great. When I hit the webserver though, I get an error from sqlconnection saying, "ERROR:Login failed for user 'YOUR_DOMAINYOUR_WEBSERVER_NAME'."
Request.ServerVariables[AUTH_USER]: YOUR_DOMAINUserBob
System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent().Name: NT AUTHORITYNETWORK SERVICE
Page.User.Identity.Name: YOUR_DOMAINUserBob
System.Threading.Thread.CurrentPrincipal.Identity.Name: YOUR_DOMAINUserBob

I'm trying to write a simple ASP.NET 4.0 app, using Windows authentication to login. This is on my peer-to-peer home network. When I click to login, it instantly shows my Windows identity, so it looks as though I don't even need to login, as it's already done that for me. However when I then go to any other page in the app, it looks as though I'm not logged in. Why is that and how do I fix it?

We have an SharePoint site no login (anonymous) with a search module using AJAX. Now the users complains that the module isn't working. When I check the code (not developed by me), I find that the code only runs if "HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.IsAuthenticated=true". Could that ever return true on an anonymous site?

I have implemented Forms authentication in an ASP.NET MVC 2 website
By using <%: Page.User.Identity.Name %> on the Site.Master page I can display the userid of the logged in user.
I would like to use this value and display other information about the user that is stored in a User table in a MsSQL database, like:
<%: GetFirstname(Page.User.Identity.Name) %>

Is there a simple way to just retrieve the user's name, and not the Domain name, when using this function:
string quizTaker = Page.User.Identity.Name.ToString();
Right now it returns "DOMAIN_NAMEUserName"
I would like to just use isolate and use the user's name, without the Domain name.

We have an ASP.NET Web App, where we want to provide a link 'Sign in as a different user' on a page. Authentication mode is Windows. Went through a couple of articles (like setting the statuscode =401). We want to authenticate the user, and then redirect him to a specific page (say 'ReviewTask.aspx');

My ASP.NET app is using windows authentication. If I run the following code:
WindowsIdentity wi = (WindowsIdentity)User.Identity;
foreach (IdentityReference r in wi.Groups)
{
ListBox1.Items.Add(r.Translate (typeof (NTAccount)).Value);
}
if (User.IsInRole ("Everyone"))
Label1.Text = "Is in role";
The listbox will contain the name of every group the user belongs to. If I then call User.IsInRole, and pass in the name of any of those groups, I always get a false.

I am working on an application that uses windows authentication. Within this application, we give the user the ability to change their password. The user can change the password just fine. However, after they change their password, that is when things get weird. Sometimes they can navigate through the application just fine. Other times, they click on a link and are immediately prompted to supply credentials. Occasionly they can click on a link but upon a second click they are prompted to supply credentials. Does the browser keep a token to the original credentials and use this when they request the next page? If this is the case, why can i continue using the site sometimes? Can I change the password and then assign that token to the request?

I am evaluating ASP.NET Membership for an intranet Silverlight app. I want users to be automatically authenticated for my application with their windows logon. Thus I configured Windows Authentication. I would like to store user settings like email-address in using the SqlMembershipProvider and not AD. It seems that storing user settings using the SqlMembershipProvider is not supported with Windows Authentication. Is this really so (using .NET 4)?
If so: What is the rationale behind this? IMHO authentication, user settings and authorization are distinct aspects. User settings could easily be stored (identified by user name) using the SqlMembershipProvider with authentication and password management being supplied by Windows. What is the recommended solution for my scenario?

I have an Intranet web site that uses Windows Authentication and when a users password expires the do not get a prompt letting them reset it. We also have OWA and if they go there to check mail, it sends them to a page which allows them to reset it there. How can I trap for expired passwords and allow them to change it like they can with OWA?

Web pages are, by nature, state-less objects. When you click from page to page in an ASP.net application, each request for a page is treated as a brand-new request. We use things like cookies, session-variables, and query strings to maintain state from page to page.
When you log in to an ASP.net web application using Windows Authentication, how does IIS persist your identity between pages?

I'm trying to access User.Identity from my master page so I can figure out which user is logged in, however I can't get it to work. If I import System.Security.Principal in my master page it makes no difference:
<%@ Import Namespace="System.Security.Principal" %>
I can access it fine if I try within a Controller.
