Getting domain name and user id c#

Question

I want to get the domain name and username.

I want it to return domainname\username forexample: Cool\Beans

My application is linked to both an internett and a locally runned program.

When i run it locally(as an application) it returns The correct domainname and username. feks: Cool\Beans That is when im using:

Environment.UserDomainName +"\\"+Environment.UserName

or when im using

WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent().Name

When im trying to use this in the internett application it returns. Workgroup\Cool$

I have tried to use HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name it returns null

Anyone have any ideas??

Thanks for answers

In your web site - it it configured to use integrated authentication? — Marc Gravell, Sep 19 '13 at 08:13
Thanks for reply, yes my iis server is configured to use microsoft autentication. — Andre Mesel, Sep 19 '13 at 08:32
"microsoft" authentication is not a "thing". Is it configured to use "Windows" authentication? http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff647405.aspx — Marc Gravell, Sep 19 '13 at 08:46
Yes sorry, i meant windows autentication. Im thinking maybe it's the program/application that it's connected to thats making this difficult. — Andre Mesel, Sep 19 '13 at 09:46

Environment.UserName/UserDomainName will return info for the executing user. This will return the correct user info when running an application locally but in the case of a website running on IIS, this would get the info for the user used by IIS.

Take a look at this for windows authentication Windows Authentication for ASP.NET MVC 4 - how it works, how to test it
