User Name

[aTekTipsUser]

I am using ASP.net and I am trying to get the Windows user name. I user User.Identity.Name. I had it working by setting the IIS Authentication mode to Integrated Windows Authentication and not allowing Anonymous access. But when I posted it to the live server and tried accessing it through the web, I could not get into the web site. It was giving me the error:

You do not have permission to view this directory or page using the credentials that you supplied because your Web browser is sending a

http://WWW-Authenticate

header field that the Web server is not configured to accept.

Is there another way to get the user name or can you let me know why I am getting this message on the live server. Thanks for your help!

Have you tried using simple HTTP header server variable technique from good old ASP days?
LOGON_USER server vaiable returns "DOMAIN/USER"

dim showid
dim MyPos
showid=request.servervariables("LOGON_USER")
MyPos= Len(showid) - (Instr (1, showid,"\",1))
logon = Right(showid, MyPos)




Thanks

Thanks for replying!
Yes, I tried the request.servervariables("LOGON_USER"). That only works when I set the mode to Integrated Windows Authentication. But when I set the mode to Integrated Windows Authentication on the live server, I get the error:

You do not have permission to view this directory or page using the credentials that you supplied because your Web browser is sending a

http://WWW-Authenticate

header field that the Web server is not configured to accept.

then configure your webserver to accept that

http://WWW-Authenticate

header field

How do you set up the webserver to accept the

http://WWW-Authenticate

header field?
