How are you handling the logins?

With form authentication, the User.Identity is filled. This is what is used in the User column. If you handle the user authentication yourself then it will remain empty.

Check out the asp forums for a similar issue:

You will have to use something called Form Authentication. There is a great write up here A Beginner's Tutorial on Custom Forms Authentication in ASP.NET MVC Application

I use a custom one myself. It's really easy to set up and there are loads of articles on it.
