I am trying to access the UserInformation in a Windows Store App.

Specifically, I would like to get the DisplayName.

I have updated the app manifest file to include Enterprise Authentication & even tried adding Account Picture Provider in the hope that this would help.

Unfortunately, NameAccessAllowed always returns false, so GetDisplayNameAsync() returns an empty string.

Is there some other privilege I need to enable in the manifest perhaps?

Update:

I forgot to mention that I have already tried the User domain name sample.
