Impersonation problems

Hi to all.
I have two Impersonation problems:

1. When using my app. from a remote computer,
the aspx page is unable to get information from Active Directory.
I am using Impersonation, and the Impersonated user is logged to the domain.
When I'm doing the same, logged as the same user, but on the server
computer,
it works.

2. When using Impersonation and setting the user name and password in the
web.config
file, the aspx page is able to access files on a file server.
But when user name and password are not in the web.config file,
and I am logged in as the same user, access is denied.

What am i missing here?
Thanks.
Sharon.

unless you are using basic or kerboros, impersonated accounts cannot access network resources (1 hop rule). if you are on the iis box, it has a
primary token, and can do 1 hop. if you access from another box, you used up
1 hop getting to iis.

same rules as above. if you fill in a domain username and password,

asp.net can access remote resources

Thanks Bruce.
I thought the problems are related.
So i need to forward the impersonated account to the file server / active
directory.
Do you know how it's done?
Sharon.

HI there, I am developing a client side app which requires me to launch another program when a user clicks a button on a web page. I thought I'd create an asp.net page (using c# ) to accomplish this. After much research I found that it's not that simple. The asp process runs under an aspnet user, which does not let me launch my program. I ran accross some code that is supposed to impersonate the logged in user, but I get the following...

Hi Am having a problem with an app I wrote to test patch delivery. I contact a remote PC, and get it to run a patch which is installed on a server. It works fine if I use psexec for example and I know it's not NTFS/share-level security at fault - it's readable to everyone which is usually enough for scheduler or any other usually-not-network-user to reach it. I've checked my credentials in my remote session and it says it's

Howdy All, I've been having a bit of a problem that I can't seem to get a grip on at the moment and I'm hoping someone may be able to give me a quick hand :) What I have is a Webservice that references an EXE file sitting in c:\windows\system32\ . Now if I use a Windows App and access the webservice everything goes smoothly.

I am having some issues, when I try to launch another process using Process.Start(ProcessStartInfo psi) on win xp sp2 box (Other versions of xp have no issue). Here is the detail. Main app checks for updates on startup and if updates are available, it launches separate exe to copy files. Before launching new process(exe), I am impersonating admin user as main app is being launched by non-admin user.

Hi, I've got an ASP.NET Web-Application written in C#. In IIS 6.0 (Windows Server 2003) I have set the application to allow anonymous access, but instead of the default user I use an own windows-user account. That account does not have too much rights (just access to the application directory and the windows\Microsoft.Net directory). In Web.config I have also set <identity impersonate="true" userName=<myUser> password=<myPWD>/> ...

Hello On our asp.net 2.0 website we impersonate every request to the identity of the user logged in. This works this way: 1. user logs in, providing username, password 2. user is authenticated against an active directory and the windows identity is retrieved (and stored in the session!!) 3. user is impersonated using the windows identity (thread is now running under the identity of the user)
