IIS must be making the translation internally from the UPN to the
sAMAccountName. It's not hard to get the UPN given the WindowsIdentity
object that you have at hand, and relying on the UPN for the user's true
name is bad programming practice IMHO.

My recommendation is to search AD for that user's object in the directory
and retrieve the first and last name properties or whatever else you need in
your code.
