Cloning ASPNET account

[Joel Leong]

Hi All,

I wish to clone ASPNET account and my web app will impersonate to this
account. I don't wish to remove the ASPNET account away because some other
applications are utilizing this ASPNET account.

The reason behind cloning the ASPNET account is my app utilizing a lot
of network resources and remote OLAP database that requires extra
permissions. I'll grant this domain account extra permissions to accomplish
these tasks.

I googled and found a lot of articles stating how to create a custom
account but those articles require me to change the machine.config which I
do not wish to do.

I'm using IIS6 and the impersonate account is a Domain Account. Any
advice?

Hi Joel:

In IIS6 you can put your ASP.NET application in it's own application
pool, and give this pool the identity of the custom account.
