Need to Impersonate user forAccessing Network resource, Asp.Net Account

Question

I need to access a network resource on which only a given Domain Account has access. I am using the LogonUser call, but get a \"User does not have required priviliege\" exce

Answer 1

Can you change the ACL protecting the network resource? A trick I've used in the past is to create an Active Directory group and then put the Computer Object into that group. I then use that group in the Access Control List of the object (file, share, etc) that I need to access.

This has allowed me to run Windows Services as Local System and get access to the protected network resources. And this trick also seems to work for the ASP.NET process which runs as Network Service.
