Problem with impersonation!!!!!!

[MrNorth]

Ok, I want to run my asp.net app under a special account... I have created it, and used the handy tool aspnet_setreg.exe to store username and password in the registry encrypted.

I added this tag in web.config

<identity impersonate="true" userName="registry:HKLM\SOFTWARE\GPSWEB\identity\ASPNET_SETREG,userName" password="registry:HKLM\SOFTWARE\GPSWEB\identity\ASPNET_SETREG,password" />

When I run the app I get the following error:

Configuration Error
Description: An error occurred during the processing of a configuration file required to service this request. Please review the specific error details below and modify your configuration file appropriately.

Parser Error Message: Error reading the password from the registry.



I found a kb article decribing that I need to upgrade the framework in order to uise this securitymodel... here is the link

I have version 1.1.4322.573
I guess I already have the latest service packs... it's a windows 2003 server.

But I dtill haven't been able to read the darned username and password from the registry.. still get the annoying error "password can't be read from the registry"
