Hello,

I create a ASP.NET web application with these settings :

Allow anonymous access (IIS) --> DISABLE

<authentication mode="Windows" />
<identity impersonate="false"/>

<processModel enable="true" userName="machine"
password="AutoGenerate"/>

So, i read that "HttpContext .Current .User .Identity" was
an instance of WindowsIdentity. (in my case of windows
authentification)

My problem is that the 2 values are different :

WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent().Name = "DEV\ASPNET"
HttpContext .Current .User .Identity.Name
= "DEV\administrator"

Why ?

What is the difference
between "Thread.CurrentPrincipal.Identity.Name"
and "WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent().Name" ?

In my application, i would like to upload a file on the
server, and i have always the same error message :
System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the
path "c:\Temp" is denied.
DEV\administrator has Read/Write credentials on this
directory, ASPNET too.

Thanks,
