I need to get the windows logged on user name in the Sitecore 9.2 application.

I have enabled windows authentication in IIS ,

and tried with the

HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name its always giving me "extranet\anonymous"

And tried with System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent().Name and HttpContext.Current.Request.LogonUserIdentity.Name but no luck.

Need help here to get the windows logged on user name

  • I don't know what you want to achieve here but did you try by disabling the anonymous user and Forms authentication?

The problem is that in Sitecore 9.2, the “LOGON_USER” returns empty.

Furthermore, when you try to get the windows identity username through the System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent().Name it’s return the Anonymous User, or the application Poll identity name. It will not give you the User that it’s logged in the computer or VM.

The only way to have Windows authentication is to disabled the Sitecore Identity.
