How to set/get HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name

Question

I created application with Ajax and Odata Services to get/insert/update the data from database.

What i want to check How to set/get HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name while login.

Becoz for checking/compare purpose from client side i want to check with the Odata Services.

Public Function OnQueryOrders() As Expression(Of Func(Of CustomersCall, Boolean))
Return Function(c) c.CreatedBy = HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name
//c.CreatedBy from DataService to compare with Current user login from client
End Function

Please help on this.

Short Answer: // // Swapped FormsIdentity principal with our own custom IPrincipal // HttpContext.Current.User = yourPrincipalFromSomewhere; //see //http://www.hanselman.com/blog/SystemThreadingThreadCurrentPrincipalVsSystemWebHttpContextCurrentUserOrWhyFormsAuthenticationCanBeSubtle.aspx // // Sync Context Principal with Thread Principal // System.Threading.Thread.CurrentPrincipal = System.Web.HttpContext.Current.User; So on the login my team would put the IPrincipal (our custom one) here: HttpContext.Current.Cache.Insert And then on in the protected void Application_AuthenticateRequest(object sender EventArgs e) { } we would grab it from the : HttpContext.Current.Cache and then reattach it to the : // Swapped FormsIdentity principal with our own IPrincipal // HttpContext.Current.User = cachedPrincipal; //see //http://www.hanselman.com/blog/SystemThreadingThreadCurrentPrincipalVsSystemWebHttpContextCurrentUserOrWhyFormsAuthenticationCanBeSubtle.aspx // // Sync Context Principal with Thread Principal // System.Threading.Thread.CurrentPrincipal = System.Web.HttpContext.Current.User; Am I saying do it exactly like my team did? Not necessarily. But I'm showing you the 2 places we came across to attach it. And the hanselman link which shows some info about it. http://www.hanselman.com/blog/SystemThreadingThreadCurrentPrincipalVsSystemWebHttpContextCurrentUserOrWhyFormsAuthenticationCanBeSubtle.aspx
