change aspnet on a per application basis 1

[harmmeijer]

We ran into trouwble when lots of files need to be uploaded and saved on a file share on another server.
Becase webserver\aspnet is a local account I cannot give it write rights on the share since that server does not have that account (it is a local account of the web server).

Changing the machine.config would cause loads of other apps to fail so we would like to try to run only this application under a domain account.

So I changed the machine.config
<sectionGroup name="system.web">
...allowDefinition="MachineToApplication" />

The web.config:
<processModel
userName="domain\inetProcess"
password="password"
/>

Rebooted the machine and tried to create a file where only domain\inetProcess has write access. Sure enoung the application fails because it is still running under aspnet.

Temporary sollution is changing this in the web.config:
<identity impersonate="true"
userName="domain\inetProcess"
password="password"
/>

My question here is:
Is it possible to change the account your web app is running under (impersonate) on a per application bases?

We hope to run all applications under this domain account in the future but we have to do this per application.

Your temporary solution (i.e. setting the account in the web.config file) is what i would have suggested as a permanant solution.

The web.config file controls the settings for each application so it makes sense to set the user that the application runs under in this file.

Sorry for the late response, since you are a valuable memeber of this forum I will take your advice.

The machine config will have userName and password in the processmodel when all applications run under that user without any problems.

Thank you for your responce.
