IIS Authentication

TheMSsForum.com: The Microsoft Software Forum

If I turn on Anonymous authentication in IIS (IUSR.. local account) and in
web.config I enable authentication mode as Windows and impersonate=true, then
I beleive that ASP.NET should create a Windows principal based on IUSR
account token passed by IIS, but Windows principal is not being constructed.
What I am doing wrong.

I was using HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name which return empty and if
I use
System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent().Name then it returns
the valid value. But I don't understand why the first one is empty. Also If I
set Windows authentication in IIS then both give valid values

Can anybody explain this behaviour

Thanks
