Question

Need to identify user on intranet site, windows user name is the goal. That will be appended to params going to SQL Server in the end.

I can get HttpContext.Current.Request.ServerVariables("LOCAL_ADDR") 192.168.112.81

We have a mixed bag of addresses here, in that 33% are fixed and the rest are allocated.

Is there a recourse to identify the user assigned to an IP within AD? If so do you have a link or an example?

TIA.

Answer 1

Within a page, the username can be found with:

Page.User.Identity.Name

or

HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name

or in a service call

ServiceSecurityContext.Current.WindowsIdentity.Name

It will be prefixed by the domain.
