Active Directory and asp.net....

I have a web service that is doing user authentication and management,
internally it is using active directory to store the user accounts, this is
accessed through the System.DirectoryServices namespace in C#. I use
imperonsation to modify the user accounts, i.e. I impersonate a 'Domain
Adminstrator' account and modify the user properties as required.

When I test this from a desktop or console application it works perfectly
fine, but when my web service is used from an asp.net application I am
unable to modify user properties. The asp.net application is using forms
authentication which uses this web service to authenticate, what do I have
to modify in the asp.net application to get imperonsation working correctly
for my web service?

Cheers

Jim
