getting the user the app is running as

[darrel]

Is there a relatively simple way to grab and display what user the
application is running as?

I'm trying to let my application upload a file but am getting access denied
errors. I gave the user ASPNET permissions, but that isn't working, so I
need to figure out who my application is running as on the server.

I had to do this a long time ago, but have since misplaced the script that i
had used to grab this info.

Try Task Manager.

Is there a way to have the info shown on the page? I'm not near the actual
server.

Well, unless you've changed a config file somewhere, it will be running
under one of 2 accounts, depending on the OS on the server. If it's Windows
2003 Server running IIS, the account will be "Network Service." If it's any
prior OS, it will be the "ASPNET" account.

In a page, you could use
System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent().Name

I realize that's what it should be. But it isn't. Hence my problem. ;o)

I'll give that a shot!
