Confirming who asp.net is running as?

darrel · Jun 14, 2005

I'm trying to troubleshoot a permissions problem. My asp.net application is
creating a folder, but then doesn't have permission to save to it. I'd like
to confirm that Asp.net is running as the ASPNET user, but I'm not sure how
to do that.

Keith wrote a nice ASPX tool to show the process token, thread token and
managed user:

That looks interesting. Alas, I can't get it to run in my application.

ack. Stupid vs.net decided to change the C# file into a vb file. Ugh.

OK, got that running. Cool (Thanks, Keith!). This is the results:

======================================================

Unmanaged Process Identity: mycomputerid\ASPNET
Unmanaged Thread Identity: mycomputerid\IUSR_mycomputerid
Client Identity (HttpContext.User): [anonymous]

======================================================

Does that look normal?

Actually, scratch that. I'm going to post a more detailed separate question.

Thanks, Brock!

Here's a short file you can use to determine
which account ASP.NET is running as :

-----------------
<%@ Page Language="VB" %>
<%@ Import NameSpace = System.Security.Principal %>
<script runat="server">
Sub Page_Load()
Dim tmp As String = WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent.Name()
Label1.Text = tmp
End Sub
</script>
<html>
<head>
<title>WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent.Name()</title>
</head>
<body>
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<div>
<asp:Label ID="Label1" Runat="server" Text="Label"></asp:Label>
</div>
</form>
</body>
</html>
