Re: IIS6 &ASP.Net Permissions help:-)

Filemon can be downloaded from the Microsoft website (it used to be a Sysinternals tool):
http://www.google.com.au/search?q=site%3Amicrosoft.com+Filemon
(first link is the download, some other articles on using Filemon to troubleshoot things)

Are you using Impersonation in your application? If so, then ASP.NET might be impersonating the authenticated user for file access, rather than the web app pool identity.

Thanks for the response !

Now, you say "it doesn't work unless Server_Name\USERS group is granted
"Full Control" on the file system level"

Just to its application path \inetpub\wwwroot\<app_name> and all
subdirecties

I will see if I can find filemon

thanks


In article <#htenEJsHHA.2376@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>,
kenREMOVE@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx says...
ASP.NET usually runs under the user context of the web application pool. If
the web application pool is running as Network Service (the default), then
this account needs permissions to files and folders.

Now, you say "it doesn't work unless Server_Name\USERS group is granted
"Full Control" on the file system level"

Which part of the file system are you talking about? the entire disk? Or
just some small portion of it?

Have you run Filemon to see where there might be "Access Denied" errors, and
which account is being denied access?

Cheers
Ken
