Hello Allen -

A more secure approach is to create a new, limited account on the
domain that would have access to that resource, then use .NET
impersonation to impersonate that account ONLY on the pages that need
it.

In addition, make sure that if you use this approach, you store the
username and password encrypted in the registry of the web server
instead of leaving them as plain text in the configuration or code
files.

Good Luck,

-Mark
