Re: Problems with writing to a file on IIS 6.0

The impersonation is set to true in the config file, what would
ASP.NET run as in my case?
And i also need to use the anonymous access to provide access without
any authentication.

If you are using an ASP.NET application without impersonation, then your
ASP.NET code runs as Network Service (not the anonymous user account in
IIS). There should be no need to make the Network Service account the
anonymous user account.

I have an ASP.Net application which accesses a web server hosted on
IIS. The web server creates a file in the application directory and
writes to it. My application needs to run on 2K, 2K3 and XP, i.e. IIS
5.0, 5.1 and 6.0.
I cannot use 'Inegrated Windows Authentication' (on my client's
request) so i have enabled the anonymous access. In 2K and XP systems,
I gave the ASPNET user full control on the physical directory and made
it the id for 'Anonymous Access' for that virtual directory. The
application runs fine.

But on a machine with IIS 6.0, I am facing problems. The user NETWORK
SERVICE has full control on the physical directory, but what should be
the anonymous access user? The NETWORK SERVICE is not available for
anonymous access. Using the IUSR_ id for anonymous access did not help
since it does not have the required permissions. How can I write to
file on IIS 6.0?

Please let me know if there is any way of solving this preferably
without creating a new user account.
