Public Property User As IPrincipal
Property Value
The IPrincipal object to be associated with the current request.
Examples
The following code example uses the WindowsAuthentication_OnAuthenticate event to set the User property of the current HttpContext to a custom IPrincipal object.
public void WindowsAuthentication_OnAuthenticate(object sender, WindowsAuthenticationEventArgs args)
{
if (!args.Identity.IsAnonymous)
{
args.User = new Samples.AspNet.Security.MyPrincipal(args.Identity);
}
}
Public Sub WindowsAuthentication_OnAuthenticate(sender As Object, args As WindowsAuthenticationEventArgs)
If Not args.Identity.IsAnonymous Then
args.User = New Samples.AspNet.Security.MyPrincipal(args.Identity)
End If
End Sub
Remarks
You can use the User property to set the User property of the current HttpContext to a custom IPrincipal object.
If you do not specify a value for the User property during the WindowsAuthentication_OnAuthenticate event, the Windows identity supplied by IIS is used as the identity for the current request. If IIS uses anonymous authentication, then the Identity property is set to the identity returned by the GetAnonymous method.
