Workflow Soluiton

I am trying to use the get current user component, but when published to the server it is retrieving the service account for which the default app pool is running as.  How do I pass the user information for whoever is accessing the workflow?

That's how Get Current User is designed to work I believe.

If your flow is form based, and you're integrating with PM, you can just use the PM Login component... see this thread:

If you're not using PM, you can try the Get HTTP Request Value component, but you won't get good results if your WF is running under anonymous creds (would have to be windows auth to work). See this thread:

I ended up having to edit the web.config for the project and set authentication to Windows.  After that change and verifying that windows authentication is setup on IIS, it now pulls user info.

Hi jdeleon,

Did you change the identity of the AppPool that the Workflow is allocated? I believe it can be an outlet too.
