    Using this code, you can examine the current security context inside your WCF service.

    If the user is authenticated, and the WindowsPrincipal is not null, then you’re using a Windows security model – you can access all the relevant info:

    ServiceSecurityContext current = ServiceSecurityContext.Current;
    
    if (!current.IsAnonymous && current.WindowsIdentity != null)
    {
        string userName = current.WindowsIdentity.Name;
    }
