Get the name of the user accessing the ASP.NET intranet page on the local network

Question

We have an ASP.NET intranet site available for users who are physically connected to or logged into the local machine, as well as for users who connect remotely via a VPN. Is there a way to automatically get the username of the person who accesses the page based on the name used to log in to the local computer or for use in the VPN?

Answer 1

This is possible if you use Windows authentication on your pages.

You can use either Page.User.Identity.Name or the more complete System.Web.HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name .

Enabling Windows Authentication in an ASP.NET Intranet Web Application

If you, however, use forms authentication, you will need to track the current user yourself, the most common method is to save their login in a session variable.

Answer 2

Get User information as follows:

 User.Identity.Name \\ Get the User name User.Identity.AuthenticationType \\ What is the Authentication type User.Identity.IsAuthenticated \\ Is he authenticated? User.IsInRole("Administrators") \\ Is he administrator? 

Answer 3

If authentication is configured for integrated Windows authentication, you should obtain it by contacting

 User.Identity.Name 

Answer 4

you can use

 Page.User.Identity.Name 

Answer 5

If authentication is windows, this should help:

 IIdentity WinId= HttpContext.Current.User.Identity; WindowsIdentity wi = (WindowsIdentity)WinId;
