ASP.NET Not LIsted as User in File Security Property

[fripper]

I am having trouble accessing a datafile in m inetpub/wwwroot/_private
directory from a VB .Net app that I am debugging. When I run the program I
get an error saying that ASP.NET is not authorized to use the file. When I
right-click the file in question and select the Security tab ASP.NET is not
listed under User Names ... but Internet Guest Account and Launch IIS
Process Account are listed [along with a couple of others]. I am running
iis 5.1 and have installed .Net Framework Version 1.1 Rdistirbutable
Package.

Thanks.

There is not "ASP.NET" account.

There *is* an "ASPNET" account under Windows XP, though,
but it only works for ASP.NET if you are not impersonating.

Are you impersonating ?
Did you try to "add" the ASPNET account to the ACLs ?

I'm afraid you lost me. I don't know what you mean by "impersonating". I
have not tried to add the ASPNET account to the ACL's ... don't even know
hpow to do that.

re:

that.

You said you had done this :

Account and Launch IIS Process Account are listed

Once you do that...do you see an "Add" button ?

Clicking the "Add" button starts the process of adding
an account to the list of accounts permitted to access that file.

Great!

It's the simple things which stump us the most.

Sometimes I've stared at screens and googled for hours,
getting exactly nowhere but if I show the problem to someone
else, or even if I just take a break for a while, the answer
appears almost automagically.
