I am trying to Impersonate user based on current session user but getting nothing on

string identityName = HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name;

identityName variable is empty.

currently we are using Tridion Sites 9.1, and it is enabled with adfs SAML 2.0.

custom page webapplication is added under Tridion Sites -> Custom Page

Could someone please help/suggest me on this.

  • Thanks @RickPannekoek, was able to get current user from given article. :) Commented Mar 29, 2022 at 5:54
  • after getting current user I am getting access denied while trying to create core-service session, is it because SAML configuration? looked into this article as per this I believe core-service does not support SAML tridion.stackexchange.com/questions/21218/… Commented Mar 29, 2022 at 5:54
  • Well, "it's complicated" :-) Core Service does support SAML to some extent (it has so-called Federation bindings which let you pass an entire Claim Set in the form of a SAML token). But if impersonating by user name is sufficient, you can do that (using the user named obtained like above). Commented Mar 29, 2022 at 15:05
  • I think in this scenario there is no connection between the current user (i.e. a Windows user accessing your custom page) and the AD user which has access to Tridion. I don't see how HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name would get you anywhere. To impersonate the user you probably need to look for a claim in the request somewhere - IF that is being set in the first place.
