Documentation on the various accounts used when a webapp runs

Is there a nice reference somewhere that explains how all the security
accounts (e.g. ASPNET) used in VB.NET, ASP.NET running on IIS5? I find the
whole thing a bit of a mystery :-)

Thanks, Rob.

There is only one: The account under which ASP.Net runs. What exactly do you
want to know about it?

The reason you may not have seen anything is that ASP.Net can run under any
account you specify, and while the default account has certain default
permissions, you are free to modify them as well.

How it works :-) It is actually more how to change it on a production
web-server so that it can use a domain account and therefore be granted
access to network resources. But on my local PC, there are the following
accounts:

ASPNET
IUSR_MACC_PC_04 9
IWAM_MACC_PC_04 9
SQLDebugger
VUSR_MACC_PC_04 9

Some of them are IIS related, some are ASP, some are VS. See, bit of a
mystery to me :-)

Is there a registry setting or some other method of moving the solution path without having to physically open the solution file in the IDE?

Hi group, We have installed our first ASP.NET WebApp on our preproduction server. The site stores some general user information in session variables that are needed in every page. So loosing your session means you'll get an error (for the time being). Session is stored in-process, so whenever the WebApp restarts, session is lost so logged on users will get an error.
