Upload Permissions

[Wayne Wengert]

I am trying to execute a file upload of a file but I ghet the error shown
below. I do have MyMachine\ASPNE T permission set but I am using IIS6 and
the error information indicates that the base process identity is "Network
Service" in that case but I cannot find any such identity? How can I grand
the necessary access?

ASP.NET is not authorized to access the requested resource. Consider
granting access rights to the resource to the ASP.NET request identity.
ASP.NET has a base process identity (typically {MACHINE}\ASPNE T on IIS 5 or
Network Service on IIS 6) that is used if the application is not
impersonating. If the application is impersonating via <identity
impersonate="tr ue"/>, the identity will be the anonymous user (typically
IUSR_MACHINENAM E) or the authenticated request user.

To grant ASP.NET write access to a file, right-click the file in Explorer,
choose "Properties " and select the Security tab. Click "Add" to add the
appropriate user or group. Highlight the ASP.NET account, and check the
boxes for the desired access.

I am not 100% sure but whenever I have such access problems I insert
the line <identity impersonate="tr ue"/> in my project's web.config
file. Try doing that and see if it works.

Interesting - I'll give it a try

Where in the Web.Config file do you put that?

Anywhere inside the <system.web> section.

A warning : while that might certainly solve your problem,
it may bring on other, less obvious, problems, too, like
an account which you don't know having access permissions
to a lot of directories.

What you really should do is detect the account ASP.NET is running as,
and give *that* account the necessary permissions, instead of impersonating
an account which might be a security risk.

Save the following as identity.aspx and run it.

identity.aspx
-------------------
<%@ Page Language="VB" %>
<%@ Import NameSpace = System.Security .Principal %>
<script runat="server">
Sub Page_Load()
Dim tmp As String = WindowsIdentity .GetCurrent.Nam e()
Label1.Text = tmp
End Sub
</script>
<html>
<head>
<title>WindowsI dentity.GetCurr ent.Name()</title>
</head>
<body>
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<div>
<asp:Label ID="Label1" Runat="server" Text="Label"></asp:Label>
</div>
</form>
</body>
</html>
------------------

When you run that file, it will return the current ASP.NET identity,
i.e., the account ASP.NET is running as.

Give *that* account the permissions you need,
instead of blindly impersonating an unknown account.
