Try with the below line of code:

string loggedOnUser = string.Empty;
 loggedOnUser = Request.ServerVariables.Get("AUTH_USER");

You may not be getting the values when you run the application from Visual Studio... Check it after deployed in IIS.

For getting the User name, use:

string userName = string.Empty;
using (PrincipalContext pc = new PrincipalContext(ContextType.Domain, "Your Domain Name"))
{
    UserPrincipal user = new UserPrincipal(pc);
    user = UserPrincipal.FindByIdentity(pc, "User ID Will Come here");
    if (user != null)
    {
        userName = user.GivenName + " " + user.Surname;

    }
    else
    {
        //return string.Empty;
        userName = "User Not Found";
    }
}
