MVC Core: Windows Authentication

Question

How can I get the DOMAIN/username in MVC Core once published? I have Identity installed, and realize that for logged-in users

HttpContext.User.Identity.Name

would work but prefer that all users do not need to be logged in. Rather, I would like to use the client box domain/username.

In a local environment, I can do this with:

System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent().Name;

but this doesn't work once published. Once published it renders "IIS APPPOOL/AppName". Is this the expected functionality? If not, how do I fix this?

Most of the information I can find online relates to modifying the web.config file...

The closest I could find is Windows Authentication with asp.net core

but I'm not sure how I would implement in the controller once I follow that

Answer 1

After a decent amount of searching, it looks like it isn't easily feasible as Camilo Terevinto stated. I'm going to have to implement Identity for all users.
