Unknown user name or bad password

[Gerald Trainer]

I have a procedure in an asp.net page that creates a file. As long as I
point it to a share on the server on which the site resides, it works.
However, if I point it to a share on a different server, I get
"System.IO.IOException: Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password."
when the page attempts to create the file. The path is specified in
web.config.

As for the site, anonymous authentication is turned off (this is an intranet
site), and I have tried both basic authentication and NTLM, but have gotten
the same error.

All the articles I have read have directed me to allowing UNC pass-through
for a virtual directory, but that doesn't apply here.

What do I need to do get this page to write to a share on a remote server?

Any insight is appreciated.

The problem is the "other" server is not recognizing the local ASP.NET
worker process account. You need to apply impersonation. Please have a look
at these Microsoft Knowledge Base Articles (http://support.microsoft.com):

Thanks, Peter! That almost gets me there. I found the aspnet_setreg
utility to encrypt the user name and password in the registry. But now,
when I try to run my app, it tells me "Error reading the password from the
registry." I'm not sure where to look to find the error. I will post this
question in a different thread.

Thanks again!
