asp.net threading question (running as a certain user)

[BigDaddySean]

hi everybody .. new to forum. I'm a seasoned .NET developer (4+ years now) ...

I have an ASP.NET 2.0 application, 3 tier .. the business logic layer is a separate Class Library.

I am creating a new thread in a function I call in this business logic layer. When I run that thread, no matter what I do it reverts back to using NT AUTHORITY/NETWORK SERVICE user account on the 2003 Windows Server.

It is not using the identity impersonate I have setup, or the Username / Password I have setup in IIS.

I need to be able to run this thread as a specific user as it is accessing files on another machine.

any idea how to do this in code?

FYI, the processmodel tag in machine.config does not work either.

By default, the new thread will run under the process identity of ASPNET (on Network Service) so you will specifically have to impersonate the relevant user. This can be done in code and there are some details here:
