I have an ASP.Net (2.0) application on an intranet that impersonates the users Windows login.
It has <identity impersonate="true" /> in the web.config file.
In a couple of places it needs to create a file in the temp folder of the server (a text file in one instance and a Word doc in another instance) before sending the resulting file to the user, after which it is deleted.
It runs into a permission problem, which I assume is because the user that is being impersonated does not have permission to write to the server's hard drive.
How do I overcome this?
I assume it be something along the lines of temporarily running under a different account for the create/read/write/delete temp file parts of code.
Please let me know how to do this and which account would be the best (easiest) to use.
It will be a Windows 2003 server.
Thanks.
