I have a WCF service that will be using basic authentication and would like to be able identify "who" is trying to use the service. I know that the HttpContext.Current is NULL and in the WCF service, but do not know what the alternative is to get the username.
For the website, I can use:
userName = HttpContext.Current.Request.ServerVariables["LOGON_USER"];
How do I get userName in the WCF Service?
