Gets the Windows identity passed to the WindowsAuthenticationEventArgs constructor.
Assembly: System.Web (in System.Web.dll)
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.
