Taken from the MSDN: IIdentity:
An identity object represents the user on whose behalf the code is running. IPrinciple: A principal object represents the security context of the user on whose behalf the code is running, including that user's identity (IIdentity) and any roles to which they belong. http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.security.principal.iidentity(VS.80).aspx http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.security.principal.iprincipal.aspx Brandon W Miika Mäkinen wrote:

Does anybody know of a good article explaining...
