Re: What is retrieved by using User.Identity.Name?

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

More than likely, it's the AD user object. Check all properties of that user (including the object's name itself) for the lowercase "u".

Hi Kevin,

thanks for the reply, but I don't want to retrieve anything from the Active Directory. I just want to know how ASP / IIS 6 retrieves / computes the value which is returned when using HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name? One user logs in with DOM\UserA but it returns DOM\userA. Why is there a small 'u' instead of a capital one? For me I could log on as I like, it ALWAYS returns DOM\UserB (also when I login to Windows using DOM\userb).
Thanks

You can try using "distinguishedName" - See http://www.microsoft.com/technet/scriptcenter/guide/sas_usr_doig.mspx?mfr=true for more information.
