By default, ASP.Net uses Machine\ASPNet.

If you enable impersonation, but do not specify a particular user to
impersonate -and- IIS allows anonymous authentication, then IUSR will be
impersonated.

: Hi,
: the web form acts as ASPNET when accessing a database. This used to be
IUSR_COMPUTERNAME in old asp, so my question is what is the relevance of the
anonymous IIS account IUSR_COMPUTERNAME - is it used anywhere in asp.net -
should I forget about it?
: Thanks
