IIS Windows Authentication IIS APPOOL

I have a intranet website that I have developed that I want to use windows Authentication.

In my code I use the following to get the username from the logged on user to display at the top of the page.

string userName = System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent().Name;
        ThisLoginName.Text = userName.ToString();

However what does display at the top of the username "IIS APPPOOL\WebsiteName" I have changed the IIS 7.0 Authentication to Windows Auth only.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

You should use: HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name to get the name of the authenticated user. Your code returns the user name for the user that runs your web process on the server.
