Configuring ASP.NET MVC app's IIS 7.5 Application Pool identity as login on SQL Server 2008 R2
问题 I am trying to use IIS 7.5 Application Pool identity as login on SQL Server 2008 R2 so that my ASP.NET web app can connect to the database... Using this approach worked fine on my local dev machine (IIS 7.5 and SQL Server 2008 R2 on same machine). However, when I try to set up the same on production (IIS and SQL servers are separate) I am unable to add "IIS APPPOOL\MyAppAppPool" login to SQL Server 2008 R2. Notice that in either case you cannot use "Browse..." when creating a login in SQL
