// Construct a GenericIdentity object based on the current Windows
// identity name and authentication type.
String^ authenticationType = windowsIdentity->AuthenticationType;
String^ userName = windowsIdentity->Name;
GenericIdentity^ authenticatedGenericIdentity = gcnew GenericIdentity( userName,authenticationType );

WindowsIdentity windowsIdentity = WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent();
