I was getting following error when I was accessing a web service which uses
impersonation: Could not create Windows user token from the credentials
specified in the config file. Error from the operating system 'A required
privilege is not held by the client.

All message boards pointed me to a solution that compromised the security of
the servers, viz, to modify machine.config to change the username attribute
from "machine" to "system". However, I could fix the problem by adding
ASPNET user account to "Web Anonymous Users" user group. (I did this because
IUSR_MACHINENAME was a member of this group apart from uses, which ASPNET
was already a part of. Note giving permissions to "Act as part of the
operating system" did not fix this problem). However I am now getting the
error: Access to the path
"C:\WINNT\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.0.3705\Temporary ASP.NET
Files\imgdbprov\a3919b2a\53cf8fc1\hash.web" is denied.

I have verified that ASPNET user account has full permissions on that folder
and file. Can anyone tell me what is happening here.

Thanks,
Yogesh.
