Problem authenticating using Windows

vvenk · Sep 26, 2005

Hello:

I wanted to implement windows-based authentication.

However when I run this aspx form, I do not see the user name and
Authentication type.

Can somebody tell me what I am doing wrong? Here's the code snippets:

WindowsAuth.ASPX
<html>

<script language="VB" runat=server>

Sub Page_Load(Src As Object, E As EventArgs)
AuthUser.Text = User.Identity.Name
AuthType.Text = User.Identity.AuthenticationType
End Sub

</script>

<body>

<h3><font face="Verdana">Using Windows Authentication</font></h3>

<table Width="700" rules="all" bordercolor="Black"
style="background-color:#ccccff;bordercolor:black;font-family:Verdana;font-size:8pt;border-collapse:collapse;">
<tr>
<td>User:</td>
<td><asp:label id=AuthUser runat=server/>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Authentication Type:</td>
<td><asp:label id=AuthType runat=server/>
</tr>
</table>

</body>

</html>

Web.config
<configuration>
<system.web>
<authentication mode="Windows" />
<globalization requestEncoding="UTF-8" responseEncoding="UTF-8" />
</system.web>
</configuration>

Thanks.

Venki

There was no way for you to know it, but this is a classic asp newsgroup.
While you may be lucky enough to find a dotnet-knowledgeable person here who
can answer your question, you can eliminate the luck factor by posting your
question to a group where those dotnet-knowledgeable people hang out. I
suggest microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.aspnet.

However, read on:

I do not see the user name and
Authentication type.

WindowsAuth.ASPX
<html>

<script language="VB" runat=server>

Sub Page_Load(Src As Object, E As EventArgs)
AuthUser.Text = User.Identity.Name
AuthType.Text = User.Identity.AuthenticationType
End Sub

You must turn off "Anonymous Access" in IIS manager in order for IIS to pass
the Windows credentials to your code.

If that's not the problem, follow up in the aspnet group.
