When I am using VisualStudio everything works fine, but when I deploy my site an exception is thrown. var emailAddress = UserPrincipal.Current.EmailAddress; throws: Unable to cast object of type 'System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement.GroupPrincipal' to type 'System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement.UserPrincipal'.

How do you back-door authenticate Windows users into a website using forms authentication running on IIS 7.0? Create a separate page to handle windows logins. This page will authenticate the user and then set the Forms cookie for them.

I've been trying to solve this problem all day, and I've read some conflicting information within the standard google message board answers. What I'm trying to do is retrieve a domain user's (that is, the currently logged in user's) email address from active directory. My ASP.NET 4 website is setup for Windows Authentication and everything works fine until the active directory calls. When I do the following, I get a COMException on the search.findAll() line. The exception message is "An operations error occured" (Very helpful message eh?) (Stripped down code for readability) WindowsIdentity

I am using JMeter to load test some pages that reside in a SharePoint 2007 Site. The farm that contains the pages resides in a different domain than the machine running the test, and uses Windows Authenticiation. The connection to the server is over an unencrypted (non-SSL) connection. Because of this, I need to pass login credentials to the server. How do I configure JMeter to login to the server using windows authentication? Try this Edit based on the reply: new link Scroll down to the Parameters section, Username The username to authorize.

In my MVC application I want to render a table in a cshtml file, if the current log in user is some x person.

I have two sites, A and B . A consumes an API that B exposes, and B requires Windows authentication. Both sites live in Domain D . The API is consumed via HttpClient , and when site A is run locally, under my domain account (which is in Domain P ), access is granted. In this case, HttpClient is instantiated like so: using(var client = new HttpClient(new HttpClientHandler { UseDefaultCredentials: true })) When A is deployed to a testing server, the above results in a 401 Unauthorized response. The application pool on the testing server is running under a service account in domain D . When
