Hi All, How do I access a shared Drive which requires username and password
to access?
I need to write a file in a folder within it

TIA

Vai2000,

What you want to do is call the LogonUser API function, logging in with
the user's credentials that you want to impersonate. Then, you will call
the Impersonate method on the WindowsIdentity class, passing the user token
to be impersonated.

You can then make your call, and it will be under that other user's
account. Mind you, you need to be careful about these credentials being
embedded in your app.

Check out the documentation for the Impersonate method on the
WindowsIdentity class (the overload that takes an IntPtr parameter) for a
code example.

Hope this helps.

LogonUser will still work in that case.

Thanks Nick,
"The LogonUser function attempts to log a user on to the local computer. The
local computer is the computer from which LogonUser was called. You cannot
use LogonUser to log on to a remote computer."

I want to log the user on the Remote Computer!

Don't do this from code, just map the remote share to the users logon
session by running the "net use passwd /USER:machinename\username" command
from the command line or a logon script.

LogonUser is not meant to "logon", it's used to obtain an Access Token that
can be used to impersonate a specific user account.
When you need to access a resource on a remote server, just specify the
remote machine name as domain argument and a vailid user and password as
registered in the remote servers security DB.
Only problem with LogonUser is that you need TCB privileges (part of OS
privilege) when running on W2K.

Yes I did net use to map the network drive and provided the credentials,
though my Application fails to access the same, it fails to really now what
Z: Drive is (I used this drive letter to map the remote computer folder)
