RE: 2 servers, 1 website, security issue

Hi Walter,

Thanks for the reply.

Simple answer.. no, I didn't configure the "Connect As" account - how/where
do I do that - in IIS on the properties of the virtual directory, or on the
directory itself on dsql?

In answer to your second question - bit of both actually! We write contracts
to our artists and suchlike and save them (now in /IntranetShare/) using
direct File.IO, however - when someone tries to view a previously created
contract, it's just a HTTP web browser request.

Does that make a difference to the security side?

Thanks,


Dan

Hi Dan,

When you created the virtual directory 'IntranetShare' and configured it to
use share "\\dsql\IntranetShare", did you also configured the "Connect As"
account for the network directory? IIS will need to use that account to
connect the resource and return to client browser.

Also, when you said "load anything from /IntranetShare/", do you mean a
simple hyperlink to a resource on the share or read/write file to it using
code?
