While running on LocalHost you need to set the Identity for your ApplicationPool to your Windows credentials. Open IIS Manager and navigate to your Application Pools. From here you need to change the identity of the Application Pool that your web app is running on.

Right click on the Application Pool and go to Advanced Settings.

Click the ellipses and change the credentials to your custom account.

Note: This does not automatically update when your credentials change (Ex. Password Change)

@TommyJone The code that you have mentioned (but not shown) should get the session user when it is on the server. The settings I have posted are for debugging on your local box. – Matt Rowland May 02 '16 at 11:35
