ASP.NET Custom Identity bad environment !

[Olivier Matrot]

Hello all,
Environment : Windows 2003/ASP.NET 2.0.
I have changed the process identity of an application pool to a custom
identity following this link :
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnpag2/html/paght000009.asp

This is working partially. The worker process use my custom identity but do
not load the corresponding profile (or fails to do it ?). Thus, the
environment of the process is inherited from the identity of the parent
process, which is lcoal system.

I need to have a correct profile because, I need to acces the user's
temporary directory. Last but not least, I want to use SQL Express 2005 User
Instances. This is not working for the same reason : bad user profile.

Any help appreciated.

TIA.

Hi,

profiles are not loaded by IIS6

Hi,

yes - you can load it by hand - but i wouldn't really recommend that because
it kind of hacky

do this from the cmdline:

runas /u:youruser /profile cmd.exe

then you have to enter the pwd etc...the profile is loaded as long as the
cmd.exe is living....

don't quote me on that

Is there a way to have a profile loaded by hand ?
I already know that in IIS7, profiles could be loaded. This is nice.

Could you also p/invoke into LoadUserProfile to accomplish the same thing?
I haven't tried it...

I just tried it.
This is weird. There is no error on LoadUserProfile, but the environment
remains unchanged...

LoadUserProfile requires SYSTEM

bummer
