Username on client computer

[EMW]

Hi,

For tracing and other thing I need to know the username of the user who is
logged in to the pc on which (s)he is running my ASPX page.

I was using:
System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent.Name()
But that provides me with: SERVERNAME\ASPNET

I was hoping for the windows login name of the user.

Is there another way to get this?

rg,
Eric

What security are you using on your .aspx page?

none as fas as I know....
What exactly do you mean?

For example, are you using
<authentication mode="Forms" >
or
<authentication mode="Windows" >

assuming that you're not using ASP.NET forms authentication mode,
(if you do, you can get username from session)
try using this code:

Dim userName() As String = Split(HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name,"\")
userName(0) '// contains Machine name or Domain name
userName(1) '// contains Username

thanks!
