Configure Webmatrix for Windows Users

Question

I create asp .net page and i have use windows user to authenticate.

<authentication mode="Windows" />

I create simply page with one label and display information.

if (Page.User.Identity.IsAuthenticated)
{
        Label1.Text = "Authenticated = 'TRUE'<br/>";
        Label1.Text = Page.User.Identity.Name;
}
else
{
        Label1.Text = "Authenticated = 'FALSE'<br/>";
}

I often get Authenticated = 'FALSE'

How configure web.config and WebMatrix to take user from Windows?

Answer 1

Probably you published your web site without changing authentication on the corresponding virtual directory of IIS.

You should deactivate "Anonymous" authentication and activate "Windows" authentication. The existence of <authentication mode="Windows" /> line in web.config is not enough for IIS. Moreover "Windows" authentication must be installed of cause (see for example this for more information).

Answer 2

try

<appSettings>
  <add key="enableSimpleMembership" value="false" />
</appSettings>
