Hi
After I hosted a site in IIS, I am trying to get the current logged user but I keep gettingIIS APPPOOL/XYZ
The command I am using is
System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent().Name
I am not getting the user id of the domain user although it is working fine when I run it from inside visual studio.
In IIS I enabled windows authentication and disable all the rest.
Please advise

You are getting the thread identity, which is the pool account. Use Context.User.Name to get the login user. Context can get injected if you need it in middleware.

You can use the below code to get your username:
private UserManager<AppUser> userManager; public AccountController(UserManager<AppUser> userMgr) { userManager = userMgr; } [Authorize] public async Task<IActionResult> Index() { AppUser user = await userManager.GetUserAsync(HttpContext.User); string message = "Hello " + user.UserName; return View(); }
