Hi, I think in IIS on the server you are running the site on you will need to remove anonymous access from the security settings on this web site and turn on the Windows authentication and/or Basic authentication based on your security needs. IIS will use the anonymous access first if it is turned on for your site and you won't be able to capture the logged on user.

We are also using the anonymousaccess and giving one local user in the fields of anonymous access. It is required for our application. Now my problem is that, i want the name of user who is accessing the application. for example, if a person accesses the application from a remote computer, then i need that the identity of that user is displayed. During current situation, when i use "User.Identity.Name", then on runtime, null is returned from this property. and when i use "System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent().Name.ToString()", then on runtime, when i access the application from a remote pc,then the name of user given as anonymous access is display rather than the actual user. Can somebody help me how can i get the actual user name keeping the conditions mentioned in first paragraph as it is. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam?
