asp.net security

[IvanG]

Hi.

I have windows security in my asp.net web web application, but cannot browse remote network shares under impersonated users, why? All users surely have access to these shares.

Thanks.

ASP.NET has 3 security contexts.

When you enable windows authentication in your web.config only one of
those context will reflect the user, the managed context. External
resources aren't accessed with the managed context.

To change the request thread context you need to set Impersonate=true in
your web.config as well.
