Now I am in a delimma. For HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name to work,
"anonymous access" needs to be turned off but I need the Intranet app run
under a domain user who has access to network shares. Otherwise if I have
intergrated Windows security used then I have to maintain all kinds of ntfs
permissions and probably all kinds of others issues which I can't think of
right now. Access to folders is maintained by the Intranet app.
