Hi,

I wanted to use impersonation in an asp.net web service application.
The following line was added to the web.config:
<identity impersonate="true" userName="user" password="12345"/>

If the user is not added to the administrators group of the computer it
won't work. \
Is there a better solution beside adding the user to the administrators
group?

Thanks,
