How to grant identity ApplicationPoolIdentity read rights to folder within my site
On our Windows 2008 R2 server I have a site running under the default ASP.NET v4.0 application pool. The identity of ASP.NET v.4.0 app pool is set to "ApplicationPoolIdentity" (I guess this is default). How do I grant this identity access to read from a custom folder within my site. I have tried "Application Pool Identity" and "ApplicationPoolIdentity" but both gives me: An object named "Application Pool Identity" cannot be found. Bonus question = should I instead forget about all this and make the change to store the files in app_data folder? Would that solve the issue? karlm ICACLS <folder>
