IIS does NOT have a requirement to access those directories.

Your application may be relying on the %TEMP% environment variable, whose
value can differ depending on the authenticated identity that is logged in
and running the application (and if no impersonated identity, you get the
system TEMP variable definition which is usually %windir%\Temp ). This
seems to match up with your problem description.

If you expect files to go to a fixed location, then make sure the
application is written to use a fixed value. %TEMP% environment variable is
not a fixed value...

I am using an ASP application running on Win 2003, IIS6 and Project Server
2003.
The ASP application allows me to run it using Windows Authentication, it
uses SOAP
to communicate with Project Server.
Without going into much detail, i have an issue where the application tries
to read/write
Project Server's PDS.WSDL file inside
C:\Documents and Settings\Username\....Temporary Internet files
I don't know what i did but for some period i managed to have
C:\Windows\Temp
be used to hold the PDS.WSDL file.
My problem is i need to specifically give WRITE permission for the logged-in
user's
C:\Documents and Settings\Username\....Temporary Internet files
Why does IIS (is it IIS first of all?) search and work inside a user's
temporary internet
files folder? This causes problems because it seems if i log in to the
server with another user,
then subsequent users running this ASP application from the network will end
up requiring
WRITE permission for the last logged user on the server. I am completely
lost as to what is
going on here? What am i doing or what should i be doing?
Does my topic mean anything to anyone?
Thank you
