[RESOLVED] Impersonate

[danasegarane]

I am doing excel automation in asp.net project. For this I need to impersonate and I am using

 <identity impersonate="true" userName="DomainName\dana" password="Password"/>

For this MS Article , I am adding my name to the Users Group of Local computer. But I am getting error that Could not load assmebly. But I add my username as Admin/Power users, the page works well.

And my question is For Impersonate, what is the User type ?

Hey Dana,

Can you show the exact error message that you are getting?

Also, can you show the code that is failing?

Hi Gary,
The exact Error message is

Access denied for the user xxx to access  Tempory Internet files

i am also using the same.... i am using power user login to access the folder. I never get such error. If i enter wrong password or different user then i got access denied error.

Thanks for the Reply

Currently I gave the Power Users Access only. But the Client is reluctant to Power Users. He says only Give the Users Role

But in the Link there is no role information ?

The identity of the process that impersonates a specific user on a thread must have the "Act as part of the operating system" privilege. By default, the Aspnet_wp.exe process runs under a computer account named ASPNET. However, this account does not have the required privileges to impersonate a specific user. You receive an error message if you try to impersonate a specific user. This information applies only to the .NET Framework 1.0. This privilege is not required for the .NET Framework 1.1.

To work around this problem, use one of the following methods:
Grant the "Act as part of the operating system" privilege to the ASPNET account (the least privileged account).

Note Although you can use this method to work around the problem, Microsoft does not recommend this method.
Change the account that the Aspnet_wp.exe process runs under to the System account in the <processModel> configuration section of the Machine.config file.

Just now I checked the

"Act as part of the operating system"

type.Its not working. Only Power users and Admin works

Like what has already been pointed out:

You may need to give access to ASPNET, IUSR_ComputerName, and/or IWAM_ComputerName read/write permissions to the tmp and Temp folders.

As what was also stated, posting the code would help determine a bit more for you.

This worked for me
