Possible to run an ASP.NET page as ANONYMOUS LOGON?

[Michael D'Angelo]

This is related to my other post.

I'm trying to impersonate NT AUTHORITY\ANONYMOUS LOGON when a user is not
authenticated, rather than having it impersonate the IUSR account.

I seem to be able to assume the id using ImpersonateAnonymousToken, but I
get access denied to machine.config when I launch, even though I've
explicitly granted access to this file to ANONYMOUS LOGON. Is it just not
realistic for this to work?

Why do you want to do that?

You could also set a separate anonymous user for the application - or impersonate
noone and set a separate worker process identity in IIS6.

Well the application I'm working on is exposing acls and their usernames,
and I was hoping I could show the Anonymous Logon account instead of IUSR to
be a little friendlier to the users. I suppose I could create a separate
anonymous account with a better name and impersonate that instead of the
default IUSR. Oh well.
