Question

Now we need to store User Name for the Logged in User in table during Cre

Answer 1

On Windows Server 2012 R2/IIS 8.0, even after setting forwardWindowsAuthToken=true in web.config, User.Identity.Name was not returning the user name but IIS APPPOOL so to resolve the issue I made below change;

1. Go to the web application in IIS
2. Open Configuration Editor
3. Change Section to system.webServer/serverRuntime
4. Change authenticatedUserOverride to UseAuthenticatedUser (for me it was set to UseWorkerProcessUser)
