Difference between HttpContext.Current.User.Identity and identity Impersonation

[Giovanni Bassi]

Hello Group,

I using impersonation on my web app. I am explicitely setting the User with
the identity element in the web.config like this:
<identity impersonate="true" userName="MyUsr" password="MyPass" />
But if I ask for HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name it returns my
personal Login name, in the format DOMAIN\USERNAME.
Shouldn't they be the same? Shouldn't it return MACHINE\MyUsr?

Tks to all the replies,

Giovanni Bassi
