Oracle ORA-12154 error on local IIS, but not with Visual Studio Development Server

Question

I\'ve got an ASP.NET application that can connect to Oracle when it\'s started by Visual Studio Development Server, but when I deploy it to my local IIS, it does not connect

Answer 1

The difference is:

• When you are debugging in Visual Studio you are in the security of the logged in user (you)
• When you are running in IIS you are in the security context of the identity of the application pool. Default is Network Service.
