code:
System.Security.Principal.WindowsImpersonationContext impersonationContext;
impersonationContext =
((System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity)User.Identity).Impersonate();
//access network resources.
impersonationContext.Undo();
web.config:
<authentication mode="Windows">
</authentication>
<identity impersonate="true"
userName="user"
password="password"></identity>
As clear from web.config file, the app runs in an impersonated mode. I need to impersonate temporarily on top of that to access a network resource. I do that as shown above.
This works fine on server if I browse to the website on the local IE installed on the server but when I access the app from my PC or any other PC, I get a access denied.
Btw, this is all within an enterprise domain environment. so IE in both cases is passing a valid authenticated token.
Any ideas what is going on. thanks.
