Get the Application Pool Identity programmatically


How do I get the identity of an appPool programmatically in C#? I want the application pool user and NOT the user who is currently logged in.


Solution

  • You could use System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent().Name to identify the Identity in which the current application is running. This link provides a nice utility which displays the identity under which the aspx is run.
