I recently had a software vendor ask me to give the account that the asp.net
process runs under administrator privileges so that their application would
work correctly. This seemed like a real security risk to me. Should the
asp.net process be allowed to run as an administrator account or is this a
no-no? If this is not a best practice can you point me to some MS
documentation that states this? I would like to be able to show this
information to the vendor. TIA.
