Hi all,

I am attempting to impersonate as the IIS user in the Global.asax
methods (specifically, Application_Start). I am aware that ASP.NET
impersonation (configured in web.config) is done AFTER the Global.asax
methods are called.

Eg.
In an executing aspx page:
System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent().Name ==
"THISCOMPUTER\MyWebUser"

In the global.asax:
System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent().Name ==
"THISCOMPUTER\ASPNET"

Is it possible for me to manually do what ASP.NET does later on with
impersonating the IIS user (without hardcoding/storing the
username/password) ?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Richard
