Hi Damian,
The fact that a change in the web.config does not illicit a change in
behavior means that we aren't successfully parsing the configuration file.
We aren't getting that far.
The easiest way to figure out what's going on would be to create a simple
inline ASP.NET page and place it in the folder for the default Web site.
(If there is a web.config there, rename it first to web.config.old or
something.) Here's a sample file you can use. Just paste this into an
empty file and save it as test.aspx:
<%@ Page Language="C#" %>
<script runat="server">
private void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e) {
lblWho.Text = "ASP.NET running as : " +
System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent().Name;
}
</script>
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<form runat="server">
<asp:Label id="lblWho" runat="server">Label</asp:Label>
</form>
</body>
</html>
