Mock OperationContext.Current.ServiceSecurityContext.WindowsIdentity.Name in WCF service

Question

I have WCF service that I am trying to Unit Tests. The only dependency the service has is the call to OperationContext.Current.ServiceSecurityContext.WindowsIdentity.Name to know the windows user that uses that service (windows authentication) I want to mock only this. Someone has simple way to do it?

Answer 1

Depending on how your service is configured, Thread.CurrentPrincipal will likely contain a principal representing the connected client. So you could get the name from that rather than having a dependency on OperationContext.
