IIS impersonation returns app pool user Service account

I have developed one MVC application and hosted in server. I used Service Account as app pool identity and provided full access(SysAdmin) on database to that Service Account only. Below are my configurations in Web.config & coding.

Web.config:

<authentication mode="Windows" />
 <identity impersonate="false"/>

In my Data Access layer I'm using below coding to get windows identity :

 string windowsLogin = HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name.ToString();

Now my issue is, when I'm accessing my application it is taking app pool Identity instead of Windows identity.

if I set the identity in Web.config to impersonate="true" I'm able to get windows login but the communication between application and database happening with my windows login instead of app pool identity (service account).

How can I get the identity of the user accessing the application and not the IIS APPPOOL user?

My Issue got resolved with below settings.

Created app pool and run it as with service account and configure it to web site in IIS.

In My Code File:

string windowsLogin = HttpContext.Current.Request.ServerVariables["LOGON_USER"].ToString();

In Web.config file:

<authentication mode="Windows">     
</authentication>
<authorization>
  <deny users="?" />

</authorization>
<identity impersonate="false" />

Note: It will give you an error if you run from Visual Studio IDE. If you publish and run it from IIS it will work.
