I need to get the current user name in MVC 5
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
}

I need to use HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name, but it always comes back as null. I have Anonymous Authentication set to disabled and Windows Authentication set to Enabled in the project properties. I also have the below lines in my web.config.
<authentication mode="Windows" />
<authorization>
<deny users="?"/>
</authorization>
<providers>
....
<add name="WindowsProvider" type="System.Web.Security.WindowsTokenRoleProvider" />
</providers>
Every post I have looked at has suggested doing the steps I have already done, but I still have no luck.

Also make sure you aren't trying to access the HttpContext identity too early in the application pipeline, such as in the Application_Start method of the Global.asax, as the identity won't be available there.

Thanks Thomas! You were correct, I was getting the null error as soon as I ran the application. I moved the code into where I needed to get the user and it's working correctly now. If you make an answer I will mark it.
