My ASP.NET application needs read/write permissions for drive "Z:",
which is mapped to my Linksys Gigadrive (Network Attached Storage...if
anyone is familiar with that).
If I configure the Gigadrive with "Guest" access rights, then everything
works fine, BUT this leaves the drive vulnerable to everyone/everything
including network viruses. Lately, my drive has had several attacks by
the Lovegate virus.
Eliminating such attacks requires making my drive private, meaning I
must remove "Guest" access rights and only allow logged-in users to
access the drive through the ASP.NET applicaiton.
The problem is that without "guest" access rights, the ASP.NET
application itself cannot access the drive!
Is my ASP.NET application a "user" that I must add to the list of
priviledged users on the Gigadrive? Well, I tried adding users "ASPNET"
and "IUSR_MyComputer" to the Gigadrive, but it didnt seem to work.
Again, if I allow the "Everyone" group (which includes the user "Guest")
to have persmission to the drive, then everything works.
Can someone please help me?
