Windows authentication not loading user


I have configured my Business Application to use Windows Authentication. From everything that I have read I don't need to change anything, and it should just load the currently logged in user. This is not the case. In the Application_Loaded method, the User is empty.

Empty User

Even when I upload the project to a server, I still get an empty user. Can anyone help me out?


Solution

  • After looking at this for a whole day, I've finally found the problem. I had to remove all of the <roles>, <profile> and <membership> from the web.config. I also added [ProfileUsage(IsExcluded=false)] to the FriendlyName property in the User class.
