Web Service Domain Account

[Ollie]

Is it possible to run a web service under a domain account as appose the the
ASPNET machine account? If so, how do you set this up?

Cheers,

Yes.

If you are asking whether you can change the privelege aspnet_wp.exe runs
with, you should go to machine.config and change the processModel element's
userName attribute's value.
If you want your ASMX pages to access resources based on certain
credentials, you could enable impersonation after setting the anonymous user
account to some domain account.

Thank you for the response.

When you say "credentials", are you refferring to the permissions that are
assigned to a domain account or are you reffering to somthing else?
