Hi I got stuck at one point. My application uses HttpContext.Current.User property for accessing user's identity in Windows authentication mode. It works fine when I browse the page from IIS. But when I start debugging it start returning null. Kindly help. I want to retrieve HttpContext.Current.User property values in debug mode. Note: I have enabled Windows Authentication in IIS for all applications.
