Check IIS Application Pool Identity using C#
17 August 2012 by
To check the IIS Application Pool Identity using C#, use the System.Security.Principal class:
using System.Security.Principal;
then add the following code to the Page_Load method:
WindowsIdentity id = WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent();
Response.Write("IIS Application Pool Identity
");
Response.Write("Name: " + id.Name + "
");
