OS: windows 7 x64 bit

IIS: 7.5

run –> inetmgr –> click your website –> enter in features view Authentication –>

 

 

Enable Windows Authentication

Disable Anonymous Authentication

Pay attention that you did this definitions on your website specificly!!

Another solution is to add to web.config in the system.web section:

<authentication mode="Windows" />

<authorization>
   <deny users="?"/>
</authorization>

 

Now you”l get your Identity back!

 

(if you don’t have the right Authentication options then :

Turn Windows features on or off

 

Turn Windows features on or off  –> IIS –> WWWS –> Security –> Basic, Digest and Windows.

 

At the end restart your machine for the changes to take effect.
