Introduction
Here I will explain how to solve problem of
HttpContext
.Current.User.Identity.Name returns null or empty string value.
Dsecription
I have one requirement like getting system username based on that check the permissions of user if user has sufficient permission I need to allow that person to view the particular page otherwise I don’t want give chance to show the page for that I have written code to get username like this
string
username =
HttpContext
.Current.User.Identity.Name.ToLower();
After that I run the application un expectdly I got username as
null
at that time again I checked my code to get username correctly at that time I found the mistake that is in web.config I write the authentication like this
<
authentication
mode
=
"
Forms
"
/>
Because of
authentication
mode
=
"
Forms
" I got username is null that’s why I change th e authentication mode to
Windows
like this
<
authentication
mode
=
"
Windows
"
/>
Again I run the application and checked for username now I got the username successfully.
