WindowsIdentity

How can we check WindowsIdentity on client machine using our webfrom? Please help me out.
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.

 

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?

 

try reading through the WindowsIdentity class: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cpref/html/frlrfsystemsecurityprincipalwindowsidentityclasstopic.asp

 

Now Ihave managed toobtain the information I need through a VBScript but I don't know how to migrate it to server side code. Could you please help me out? Thanks.

 

System.Security.Principal.WindowsImpersonationContext userID;
this.userID = ((System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity)User.Identity).Impersonate();








try that one

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


protected System.Security.Principal.WindowsImpersonationContext userID;


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


this.userID = ((System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity)User.Identity).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.

Internet users are my primary targets.
