i'm trying to get the username and domain from Windows, using

WindowsIdentity windowsIdentity = WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent();
windowsIdentity.Name;

but its always returning 'IIS APPPOOL\DefaultAppPool'. What could I do to return the correct value?

Thanks

What is the result, when you use `User.Identity.Name` instead? – Stefan Over Nov 18 '13 at 12:29
Always 'IIS APPPOOL\DefaultAppPool'. – rriccilopes Nov 18 '13 at 12:33
Sounds like you're calling this from within ASP. Which will return the identity of the apppool it is running under and not the name of the logged on user. – Moo-Juice Nov 18 '13 at 12:38
And how could I do it properly? – rriccilopes Nov 18 '13 at 12:43
"do it properly" depends on what you expect the correct value to be. – Moo-Juice Nov 18 '13 at 13:06
I expect the windows user name and the computer domain. – rriccilopes Nov 18 '13 at 13:25

Herdo with these 3 steps in this link I got the right domain/name, but I need a 'hybrid' system that could log in with Form and Windows authentication. I wish I could get this values using Form Auth. – rriccilopes Nov 18 '13 at 15:05
