Setting up the right kind of authentication

[Klaus Jensen]

Hi!

I need to restrict access to an intranet-site

- The users are already logged in on their workstations (NT/Domain)
- I need to be able to retrieve their username for logging purposes
- The users must not be presented with a "login"-window - the are already
logged in!

This spells "Integrated authentication", right?

Then I need to get it working.

1. The site is set to "integrated security"
2. I set authentication to "windows" in web.config

And here is where my research have left me no others choices than to ask
here.

How do I get the NT-username, once the user has access to the site?

An example on gotdotnet suggest I add a sub in global.asax:

Sub WindowsAuthentication_OnAuthenticate(ByVal s As Object, ByVal e As
WindowsAuthenticationEventArgs)

but e.Identity.name is blank.

The example also mentions an IPrincipal class, but I have not been
successfull in implementing it.

Where do I go from here? What am I missing? Is there a good ressource on
this subject?

I have already read...:

Thanks in advance

Of course it would not work, when I tested on my workstation - not on the
server, where I had the security configured.

Sorry! [blushing even more]
