Re: Logon failed for user ". but only for membership tables in same database that other request work

Changing the <processModel> worked. I have a network ID that I used. When I
look at the ASPNET process on the XP Pro machine (A) the process aspnet_wp
is using the network username. I had to grant access to the meta base for
the usename I am using. I can use the membership.validateuser now. I
checked computer (c) , server2003, using network monitor to make sure the
userid and password were not sent in the clear. My web.config file no longer
needs the <identity impersonate="true">. There is no userid/password
information in the web.config file. The machine.config file seems fairly
secure at this point. All seems to be well in computer land here. Thank you
for all you assistance. Now I will read up on processModel.
P.S. I can also access the Sqlserver2000 database running on a Server200
machine in the network. This will give me a flexible development platform.
Thanks again

Bill

Hi Bill,

Thanks for the update.

Your web.config file seems fine. I think we should start a SQL Profiler
Trace on Computer B to see what the exactly account the Web Application
use
to connect.

Also, you may change the ASPNET process account to your local admin.

Please change it in the machine.config file. This file is located at
%System Disk%\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\CONFIG\

Please find the <processModel> entry and change the username and password
properties.

Sincerely,

Wei Lu
