Cannot get User.Identity.Name

G

Guest

Hello:

I am running IIS 6.0 on a Windows 2003 Server (Standard). I have a simple
webpage to display the User.Identity Name

<HTML>
<%=User.Identity.Name%>
</HTML>

I checked IIS Manager and under Directory Security, Enable Anonymous Access
is checked.

But the above property results in an empty string.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks.

If anonymous is turned on, how do you expect the server to know who is
logged in? Anonymous is just that "anonymous", meaning, no user identity.

I solved the issue!

If Anonymous access is allowed, the User.Identity Name will always be an
empty string. Otherwise it returns the user's login name.

I've the same problem

HI all,

I've the same problem, too. But, even I use User.Identity.Name, still can't work. I've tried nearly all the methods, can anyone tell me how to solve the problem. I cannot get a user name for the logged on user.
