I have a set of pages that has to read and write to a
folder on a different machine. The folder on the second
machine is a shared directory that has permissions set to
full control for everyone. The first machine is my web
server with IIS 4 installed. I have anonymous access set
on this machine. I have tried using the IUSR_MACHINENAME
account as well as a domain account for the credetials.
My problem
When I go to read and write to this shared directory
I "sporadically" get permission errors or path not found
errors. It does not occure with any degree of regularity.
At one point I can access this folder perfectly but 10
seconds later I have permission or path errors and cannot
get access back.
Possible Mitigating Factors
I originally had this virtual directory set up with
anonymous access disabled with the shared directory as
another virtual directory in IIS. I need the "LOGON_USER"
server variable which is the reasoning behind the
disabling of the anonymous access, but I was no closer to
getting access to the files I need.
To get around this my site now starts from a virtual
directory that has anonymous access disabled, gets the
LOGON_USER value and then submits to the second virtual
directory with anonymous access enabled and sets a session
variable with the login information. As stated above, this
has not proven to be a reliable sollution. When I log onto
the IIS machine and run IE from there I can read and write
to the folder no problem but when I use another machine to
run the site I get the problems stated above.
Anyone have any ideas.
I have read a few articles on the microsoft web site which
describe the problem and the security tokens involved but
I can't find a sollution that seems to work for me.
Thanks in advance
