Re: Accessing shares on other servers

Kev,

You may be using Windows Authentication, but when your ASP.NET application
attempts to access those files, it does so under the security context of the
ASP.NET worker process. What you need to do is to set user impersonation in
your ASP.NET application so that the application runs under the security
context of the person who is using it.

Open up your web.config file, and change the impersonate tag to look like
this:

<identity impersonate="true" />


Read more about impersonation on MSDN:
