I have a feeling that Request.ServerVariables("AUTH_USER") and User.Identity.Name return the same string while using FormsAuthentication.
So my question is as simple as that. Which one should i better use?
They return the same value indeed, the ServerVariables is there only for backward compatibility with legacy code. Normally you should user
User.Identity.Name.
