.NET Forum / ASP.NET / General / September 2007File folder access exception
I am getting the following error trying to create a folder on the file system using an intranet internal application. Exception: System.UnauthorizedAccessException Message: Access to the path '\\lifedevsql\shared\FileDocs\File093969' is denied. When I Googled the exception I found a reference to impersonating a user in the web.config file. Is there any other way to allow create/modify/delete of file folders on a separate domain server? I have the folders referenced as a virtual directory on the web site and have read and write permissions in IIS. I also have full control permissions for an AD group which will be using this application? Thanks. David the default aspnet use account is a local account without network permissions. you can set the identity of the app pool to a domain account, or set the account in the web.config via impersonation. -- bruce (sqlwork.com) > I am getting the following error trying to create a folder on the file > system using an intranet internal application.

What I was concerned with is I did not want to enter a username and password in the web.config file. Thanks.

As ASP.NET developer, you need to be very clear what resources your application needs and configure the running user account accordingly. See more coment inline. MOst likely, if the ASP.NET app has to access resources on the other computers, you need to impersonate the ASP.NET app to use a domain user account. >I am getting the following error trying to create a folder on the file >system using an intranet internal application.

Thanks. a user using your web application does not necessarily mean the web application is run under his/her credential. It is depends on how the ASP.NET application configured. > David The "Directory Security" tab on the web site is set to Integrated Windows Authentication. My web site is reading that users domain info in the ASP.NET application and it returns DOMAIN\username when I get the Page.User.Identity.Name David > You must know which user account is used to run your ASP.ENT application, > which runs on a web server. by default, it is the web server's local [quoted text clipped - 37 lines] > >> David Free MagazinesGet these publications absolutely FREE for up to 12 months.
