WCF tries to distance itself from ASP.NET, because it can run in any number of hosts - not just ASP.NET. This also allows it to cut out large chunks of the ASP.NET pipe, improving throughput. You can force it to use ASP.NET mode by adding:

<serviceHostingEnvironment aspNetCompatibilityEnabled="true"/>

to the configuration, but frankly you're better off (IMO) using the thread principal instead. WCF has full support for the principal model.

Try use ServiceSecurityContext.Current.PrimaryIdentity.
