IIS Authentication vs. WindowsIdentity


Why do I get different results from WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent().Name than what
is defined for authentication on the IIS virtual directory? For example in IIS6
I have the VD set to Windows Integrated Authentication only, yet the property
WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent().Name or WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent(false).Name
contains "NT AUTHORITY\NetworkService". The server variables seem wrong,
AUTH_USER and REMOTE_USER are empty, but LOGON_USER contains the correct
DOMAIN\USER info.

This seems different than traditional .ASP pages under IIS6.

Thanks.
