Hi,

How can i get my ASP Page or Web Service to run as the LocalSystem rather
than a user?

cheers

The default user for all apps is set in your machine.config file in your
local .NET installation folder (in a folder called config). If you look in
that file, in the <processModel> section user="machine" is pry what is set
right now. You can change that to SYSTEM as you want, but it is highly
recommended you don't do that (for security reasons). But it's your call.

In addition, I'm not sure, you may be able to define this in your local
web.config also, and thus override the machine.config setting. Haven't
investigated that myself, so dunno if you can do on an app by app basis...

Another alternative is to use impersonation, and set the user you want all
visitors to run under....

Hi,

I think what you meant is ASP.NET impersonation.

You could add a line in web.config to run an application as a configurable identity. For example:

<identity impersonate="true" userName="contoso\Jane" password="pass"/>

Please refer to http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en...asp?frame=true for details.

Thanks very much.

Hello Arran,

Craig has provided the answer already.

Please look in machine.confign file in C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322\confi g folder, in the
<processModel> section user="machine" is what is set right now. You can change that to SYSTEM as you want, but it is not
recommended sicne asp.net app will running under a more powerful account.

Thanks.

If you were running a hosting service, hosting clients that ran ASP.Net
sites, would you want them to simply allow their apps to run under your
SYSTEM account?
