Hi,

I have a typical scenario, I have web page which tries to list the files on
the remote share. When i try to access the remote network path like
"\\machinename\folder" using web application cs file it gives access denied
error. Also i have have set the web.config identity impersoante=true, my IIS
has only Intergrated windows authentication enabled as this is a intranet web
application. My repository is on different machine and not on the server
which the web based intranet application is hosted. Any links or docs would
be of great help!!

Regards,
Prasad
 
IntPtr accountToken = WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent().Token;

// Impersonate a Windows identity.
// Retrieve the Windows identity using the specified token.
WindowsIdentity windowsIdentity = new WindowsIdentity(logonToken);

// Create a WindowsImpersonationContext object by impersonating the
// Windows identity.
WindowsImpersonationContext impersonationContext =
windowsIdentity.Impersonate();

//do your stuff here

impersonationContext.Undo();

}

Just a heads up - I do not think this will work with the default
security settings on Windows 2000 - I think it requires that you give
the ASPNET account the "act as part of the operating system" right.
It should work fine on Windows XP and 2003.
