Error Reading the Security Log

[Guest]

I am getting this error when I try and read the events in the Security log.

A required privilege is not held by the client!

My web site is set up as Integrated Authentication and in my web.config I
have the following
<identity impersonate="true" />

Since I am an Admin on my box and on the domain, why can't ASP.NET C# code
read my security log?

Here is my code:

EventLog aLog = new EventLog();
aLog.Entries;
string sLogName = DDLEventLog.SelectedItem.Value.ToString();
aLog.Log = sLogName;
aLog.MachineName = Environment.MachineName;
LogGrid.DataSource = aLog.Entries;
* LogGrid.DataBind();

* is where the error occurs when I try and bind the results from the log to
a grid.


Thanks

Tom

Make sure you are effectively impersonating an Administrator.

Can you elaborate on your comment?

What exactly do you mean when you say "Make sure you are effectively
impersonating an Administrator"?

I'm not sure what to change?

Also, I am running under windows 2000 Server.

:

Did you check the current principal's identity name?

WindowsPrincipal wp = new WindowsPrincipal(WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent());
String username = wp.Identity.Name;

What happens if you run your code (part of) as administrator from a console
application?
