Wrong user returned in ASP.NET

I asked few people in work, but noone could help me. So here it is.

I'm on domain. Windows authentication. Deny anonymous.

I start my app on local webdev server. Then try to access it. So...

<%= Page.User.Identity.Name %>
<%= HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name %>

in my .aspx page..

When I access this (in this example I just want to see my name of logged user), I get my username, just like expected. But when I want to "test" my app - still running in first account - and I access it in another browser (no, I'm not stupid, ofcourse under another windows accout, made for testing) I'm getting the first username still. So the problem is: User.Identity.Name returns name of user where I started the app, not name of user who accessed it via browser.

Any tips? :)

Have a nice day

The accepted answer (as suggested by comments above the question) would be:

The integrated web server doesn't handle Windows authentication properly. IIS should do better and recognize different users. The source of the problem is then the integrated web server.

Output Caching is a common cause: user B might be getting a cached copy of the page generated for user A.
