Impersonation works only on Windows authentication, so it has no affect on
Forms authentication. What you can do is, to use diferent acount for ASP
worker process (with admin rightd), but this is quite dangerous (running web
site under domain admin). Another aproach would be to use LogonUser Api, to
temporary switch application thread to another user.
