How to open files protected by ACLs?

[Peter Rilling]

How can I pass credentials along with a file access request. When a person
uses an application, it uses their credentials when accessing resources.
Now, what if the user wants to use the application to open files that are in
areas protected by ACLs? I did not see any constructor that accepts a
NetworkCredential object.

Hello

You have to impersonate a user who has access to the file. Check this url to
