Windows authentication with asp.net

Question

I am building a website using ASP.net and C#. For users to get on my website they need to authenticate themselves with windows authentication.

I am now trying to store the name where the user authenticates itself with in a session so i can use it later on in my website.

Does anyone knows how to do that?

Session["UserName"] = value;

Then you can retreive it like that:

string username = (string)Session["UserName"];

OR

<script type="text/javascript">
var someSession = '<%= Session["UserName"].ToString() %>';
</script>
