Re: Crystal Reports .NET: Exporting to PDF

OK, in this case, where the ASP.NET app files are located does not matter,
the ASP.NET app runs on the web server.

It has nothing to do with Crystal Report, as you have already known that the
report is generated correctly. It is simply an authorization/permission
issue.

It is obviuos that the ASP.NET app is run under a user account local to the
web server (as you metioned in previous post, "NT Authority\Network Service"
of the web server). So, that is what it is: a local account has no access to
other computer's resources. You need to configure your ASP.NET app to run
under a domain account that has write-permission to the folder where you
want to save the PDF.

Actually I did say that I was saving it back to the fileserver (not
the webserver), but to be perfectly clear, yes, I'm trying to save the
PDF back to the fileserver which is a remote machine to the webserver.

The ASP.NET app itself is located on the fileserver, but the webserver
is the one running/calling the app from the fileserver. It's a
classic IIS setup where you select the option under "Home Directory"
as being a share on a remote computer.

Thanks again.

Hi all,

Ok, here's my situation: I have a Win2k3 webserver that's accessing
a UNC path on a fileserver containing the files for my website. Now,
I have an ASP.NET app deployed and it works well, except for one
thing...

I have the bundled version of CR.NET (am using Visual Studio .NET
2003 with .NET v1.1). I have code that creates a report and exports
it to PDF. Now, this works fine if I setup the ASP.NET app locally to
the webserver. However, the second I put it onto the fileserver and
access it as described above, it doesn't export. I've used ProcMon
and have verified that the report itself is created (using Crystal
DLLs on the webserver), but once it tries to save the PDF back to the
fileserver, it says "Access Denied" in ProcMon (the path is UNC).
What's more, in the "Access Denied" event, it doesn't say which user
the process is trying to impersonate, leading me to believe that
Crystal is using some credentials local to the webserver and trying to
use them with the fileserver.

I can see that NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE is the "user" for the
"Access Denied" event on the webserver, so I tried granting NETWORK
SERVICE (as well as ASPNET, etc.) full control permissions, but to no
avail.

Has anyone run into this before? Is there a solution? Thanks for
any help in advance!- Hide quoted text -
