WindowsAuthenticationEventArgs.Identity Property

 

Gets the Windows identity passed to the WindowsAuthenticationEventArgs constructor.

Namespace:   System.Web.Security
Assembly:  System.Web (in System.Web.dll)

Public ReadOnly Property Identity As WindowsIdentity

Property Value

Type: System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity

The Windows identity passed to the WindowsAuthenticationEventArgs constructor.

The WindowsAuthenticationModule constructs a WindowsAuthenticationEventArgs object using the Windows identity supplied by IIS and the current HttpContext and passes it to the WindowsAuthentication_OnAuthenticate event.

If IIS uses anonymous authentication, the Identity property is set to the identity returned by the GetAnonymous method.

The following code example uses the WindowsAuthentication_OnAuthenticate event to set the User property of the current HttpContext to a custom IPrincipal object.

Public Sub WindowsAuthentication_OnAuthenticate(sender As Object, args As WindowsAuthenticationEventArgs)
  If Not args.Identity.IsAnonymous Then
    args.User = New Samples.AspNet.Security.MyPrincipal(args.Identity)
  End If
End Sub
