Re: ASP.NET 1.1 Application Pool Identity and user authentication problem with AD (Active Directory)

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

The following article from Microsoft finally explain why the problem we
encountered is 'normal':

http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/WindowsServer2003/Library/IIS/523ae943-5e6a-4200-9103-9808baa00157.mspx?pf=true

Unfortunately for us, we have to rethink some aspect of the application
since we put a lot on using the application pool to heighten the
security and access between services. Too bad our application were
made before moving to AD because we would have change the architecture
some how.

At least, we can make everything work by 'turning on' the NTLM
authentication, but we can't live with this for very long I'm afraid.

I hope that this had help some of you with the same problem, and I do
hope that I help other planned their architure on NOT using specific
identity with their application pool, but to stay with the 'Network
Service' accound since this always work (and for more reason than only
authentication - those of you who have found my previous posting this
year about the worker process recycling not working as expected when
NOT running under Network Service know what I am talking about.

Good Luck people!
