a) if you do this, you will lose the benefits of connection pooling, as a
separate connection will be used for each security context (each user
account will have it's own pool). So, this solution will not scale to a
large number of users. It's OK if you have a small number of users
b) the problem is double-hop authentication. When using IWA, the webserver
does not have the user's password. It just gets a token from the DC, but the
token does not have permission to logon to network resources.
Options:
a) if you are using a Windows 2000 Domain, you can enable delegation. This
allows the IIS server to impersonate the Windows account, and logon to the
backend SQL Server. You need to use Kerberos authentication for this (not
NTLM v2)
b) if you are using a Windows 2003 Domain, when you enable constrained
delegation, you can use Protocol Transition. This allows the user to
authenticate using any of a number of mechanisms to the IIS server (eg
Digest, or NTLM), and the webserver can still get an Kerberos token to logon
to the SQL Server.
Here are a few articles to get you started:
IMPORTANT:
Read chapter 12 from the Building Secure ASP.Net Application Book - it has
very good information about building scalable, secure ASP.Net applications
(eg using a trusted subsystem model):
