Hi
I just have a third party dll which does some custom functionality.
The Dll have some apis which run only when the user is an administrator.
I made a simple windows GUI application which makes use of the dll. Good it
works fine when i am logged in as the Administrator.

I made a Webservice which uses PInvoke thereby making use of the DLL.
The DLL reported Error as the WebService is not running in the Administrator
Authorization mode.
SOo i went into Machine.config and changed the process model attributes to
username :administrator password:MyPassword
and it works VERY FINE.. No problems at all.

But i dont want to have the machine.config approach as it makes each and
every webservice running on the system as an administrator mode.
How can i have customized thing which works as an administrator mode only
for that webservice and not for others.

Is there any way????
Expecting ur replies.
Regards
Shal
 
I also tried
doing in web.config to make it personalised only for one webservice but it
did not work. I get an access denied message in the custom dll which says
admin did not login. It only works if i modify the machine.config. Can this
be done in some way?

I modified web.config as follows by adding one line
<identity impersonate="true" userName="Administrator" password="mypassword"
/>
