Widnows Authentication

[Ganesh Ramamurthy]

Hello Experts.

I use windows authentication in my ASP.Net application. I have disabled the
anonymous access for my web site in IIS. I get a windows authurization
dialog box (the grey box), wherein i can enter the correct userid and
password to access the page.

I want to display the user information (line name..) in my pages. How can I
get the user details from the LDAP in my application. How can I get the LDAP
user name and password which the user has keyed in or at least the userid.

Thanks in advance

Regards
Ganesh

This article will show you the difference user identity you can get in
ASP.Net page:

Not sure how that will work with LDAP server (never had that situation
before), but if you sucessfully authenticate against your LDAP tree then it
should give you the correct username and address.
