ASP.Net WebForms using Windows Authentication

I'd like to play about with WindowsAuthentication but am seemingly falling down at the first hurdle.

So I created an empty ASP.Net Webforms app and amended the web.config as so:

<configuration>
    <system.web>
        <compilation debug="true" targetFramework="4.0"/>
        <httpRuntime/>

        <authentication mode="Windows" />
        <identity impersonate="true"/>
    </system.web>
</configuration>

Fire up the app and on page load check the following for a value:

HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name

but it returns an empty string (and also shows that HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.IsAuthenticated is false).

My expectation was to see my windows account name returned e.g. mydomain\rob

Where am I going wrong?

In IIS, Windows Authentication won't work while Anonymous Authentication is enabled.
