HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name with and without www

Question

I am writing a web service in vb.net/asp.net 2 that requires a username. It works great when requesting the URL “www.mysite.com”, but if someone logged in using “mysite.com” without “www” and goes to the page that calls my web service, HttpContext.Current . User.Identity.Name gives a null value.

How can I solve this problem?

Many thanks,

Answer 1

If you use forms authentication, try setting the domain to in mysite.comin the element <forms>.

Answer 2

How is this configured in IIS (if you are using IIS)?
