Configuarble Identity and Intergrated Security

[matttoby]

Hi,

I am using intergrated windows authentication in IIS 6.0 for one of my web sites. This is working fine.

I then trying to to use a configurable identity in the application pool. This causes the intergrated security to stop working.

The configuarble identity works fine with anonymous access.

Anybody have any sugestions why this might not be working?

Many Thanks

Matt

Best practice is to use the Network Service account for the application pool identity. I'm assuming you are trying to assign a domain service account as the identity for the app pool.

The following should correct the problem you've described:

Open Computer Management on the server running IIS and click on the Local Users And Groups folder. Open the IIS_WPG group and add the account you're trying to use as the security account for that application pool. Recycle the app pool and try it again.
