App pool identity versus impersonation identity?

Question

I found only one thread relating to this but it did not answer the question.

I\'m curious to a link or explanation of the difference between setting an impersonatio

Answer 1

Using impersonation in the web.config allows you to override whatever identity was configured for the Application Pool the app is running under - it's just a more fine grained method to control identity ( on the app level vs. the ApplicationPool level), so you could have two apps run on the same AppPool, but one of them uses impersonation to use another identity.
