WindowsIdentity

[pongourcom1]

Thanks.

I think this code is for Windows application. If we use it in a webform it always returnmy Discountasp.net server machine ID: WEB110\aspnet_1280.. What I wish to know is the machine ID the user uses to connect to my web sites. Thanks.

I do not think it is possible. Webform application (on the server) do not have access to security information on the client machine.

Thank you for your kind responses. You might be right. I'm now turning to VBScripts for a solution. Do you have any suggestions on this subject?

After adding references to Windows.Form and System.Security I plugged your code into a test web application as follows:


protected System.Security.Principal.WindowsImpersonationCont ext userID;


private void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e){


this.userID = ((System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity)User.I dentity).Impersonate();


}


ERROR: An anonymous identity cannot perform an impersonation.


Thank you for your kind response.

you need to change the settings for the project in IIS
you are not using Windows Authentication



run Microsoft Management Console (MMC)


Add the IIS Add-In


Right click on your website project folder


Goto Directory Security


Hit the Edit Button


Make sure that Integrated Windows Authentication is checked.





I believe this will only work for computers logged into your domain using their Windows Password (Intranet) not Internet users


I could be wrong =)





other then that I am not sure.
