    It appears in .NET 2.0 there is a property of the
    System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity class called User that returns a
    string representation of a user's SID after they have authenticated using
    IWA. My question, is a similar property in .NET 1.1 from another class that
    will return the same information? I know there are several properties that
    return a domain/username string but to get the SID requires an DS lookup
    function which is performed across the wire. The application we are
    developing resides on a web server in a domain that has several dozen trust
    relationships to "account" domains across WAN links with varying speeds. To
    maximize performance, the user property appears to work without going over
    the wire. I am assuming it is getting this from the Kerberos authenticator
    that is passed during the IWA handshake.

    Thanks,
    Kevin
