What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. create an application that generates an exception
2. generate the error by running the application in visual studio 2005. the
user field in elmah.axd is filled.
3. generate the error by running the application using virtual directory.
the user field is empty.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Does the web.config of the application enforce Windows authentication? Like 
this?

<authentication mode="Windows" /> 
<authorization>
   <allow users="*" />
   <deny users="?" />
</authorization>

Does adding the above give you a consistent user field when running the 
application 
from Visual Studio versus under IIS?

adding the above didn't help.
but i got the user field filled by changing iis property from anonymous access 
to
integrate windows authentication.

but how do i fill the user field with the logged in username.

Sorry, that was my bad. The <authorization> section should have read:

<authorization>
   <deny users="?" />
   <allow users="*" />
</authorization>

Anyhow, this issue is not a problem with ELMAH. What you are observing is 
simply a
difference of implementation between the ASP.NET Development Server that ships 
with
Visual Studio and IIS. The ASP.NET Development Server seems to, by default, 
associate
the process user with the request. IIS, on the other hand, associates a user 
with the
request only if necessary (due to authorization) and authenticated.
