I have a Flask application (Python version 3.7) running on IIS ( version 10). I'm trying to get the Windows username value of the User that is browsing the web site.
I've used
Getting a value back isn't the problem. The value is always this Service Name or Machine Name account name similar to SERVICEACCT$. Not "domain\joeb" for example. I have tried numerous web.config file settings every which way I can think of with regards to
<authentication mode="Windows" />
<identity impersonate="true" />
As well as fiddling around with the Authentication settings via IIS Manager.
Enabling ASP.NET Impersonation
Enabling Windows Authentication
Enabling / Disabling Anonymous Authentication
I've even set the IIS APPPOOL identity to a user account value ( my own id) and I still get the SERVICEACCT$ value returned from the getpass.getuser() call.
Regardless of what I try in terms of configuration, I always get what I assume is some service account name. I never get a value like "domain\joew". Is the wfastcgi module just incapable of facilitating Impersonation?

- getpass.getuser()
- os.environ.get("USERNAME")
