    I assume that the former is the name of the user context that the page is
    running under (which, I believe, can be set programmatically), whereas the
    latter is the value that has been sent by the browser to the server as part
    of the HTTP request (which can't be altered programmatically - it's
    read-only).

    Cheers
    Ken

    : System.Web.HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name and
    : Request.ServerVariables("AUTH_USER")?
