IIS 6.0 dy default uses the NetworkService account as the process identity
for ASP.NET apps. Does anyone know if it is possible to make a trusted
connection to SQL Server using the NetworkService account.
As far as I know (and I'm no expert on Active Directory) there is an Active
Directory group called something like "Computers in the Domain" that you
could add to a local group on the SQL Server and make the local group a
trusted login.
I am thinking that if the NetworkService account is a member of the
"Computers in the domain" group then when the ASP.NET worker process on IIS6
attempts to connect to the SQL Server it will take on the identity of the
host computer and be granted access to the SQL Server as the SQL Server local
group.
I don't have access to an Active Directory domain infrastructure to test
this out, does anyone have any comments.
