Running a Process with <impersonate="true">

[joeted]

Hello,

I am trying to run a batch file on a (remote) .NET server (i'm not the
admin) using system.diagnostics.process

I find that the batch file is successfully executed.

However, when i put <identity impersonate="true"/> in my web.config i
get an "access denied" exception.

This line in web.config is required as it was the only way (i have
successfully found) i could also write to a text file from an aspx page.
[ using StreamWriter from system.io ]

I have also tried it with and without <authentication mode="windows">

As far as I understand the impersonate=true makes the "internet guest
account" (machine\IUSR) run the process?

Any solution that would allow me to do both tasks (with or without
impersonation) would be appreciated.

Hi, joeted,

You can set impersonate="true" only for the location of the page that needs
that impersonation. Or set impersonate="false" for the page that starts the
process alternatively.

Have a look at the documentation for the <location> element:

Hope this helps

YES!!

This solution works fine and I can now do both tasks within
the same application.

Thanks a bunch, Martin.
