WindowsAuthenticationEventArgs::Identity Property

 

Gets the Windows identity passed to the WindowsAuthenticationEventArgs constructor.

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

public:
property WindowsIdentity^ Identity {
	WindowsIdentity^ get();
}

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.

No code example is currently available or this language may not be supported.
