hello,
Is it possible to read a registry key in ASP, and use the value in an
application via a session variable.
I'm using II6 on windows server 2003.
I'd like to create a key in the registry (under HKLM) and store a value
(connection string for example).
In the ASP application, read the value and store it in a session variable
with global.asa.
How do that and which right to access the regitry (IIS_IUSR) ?
Thanks a lot

Why on earth would you want to do this??????
You should NEVER store connection info in a session and should additionally, NEVER give IUSR_, write access to your registry!!.
Instead of doing it this way, either use an INI file or database (stored outside of the webroot), or re-think the way your application works (doesn't sound very secure so far).

Yuk!
Okay, maybe a little over-reacting there, but seriously, this is a
security nightmare and there are much better methods. You want to
store a connection sgtring in the registry for use. Why? Use it in
an include. It's easier to program it anyway and you don't need to
give IUSR permission to the registry. If you want, include it in a
global.asa file. But never the registry, that's not the place for
those things and it's certainly not a security risk you wnat.

Should application data be read and written to the Registry to persist
state, or should the App.config file be used?
If the Registry should be used, what .NET class reads and writes the
Registry?
If the App.config file should be used, reading a configuration setting is
trivial, but there appears to be no write methtod. Please post a write
method when replying.

OK, before I start, let me clarify a few things here. This is not the
run of the mill failure to read a registry key while trying to write
to the Event Log.
Here's our setup:
a) IIS 6.0 server w/ SharePoint installed
b) ASP.NET application w/ NTLM authentication running under an account
(application pool) with ADMIN privileges on the local box.
c) We are NOT using impersonation

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
