I need to access a network resource on which only a given Domain Account has access.
I am using the LogonUser call, but get a “User does not have required priviliege” exception, as the web application is running with the asp.net account and it does not have adequate permissions to make this call.
Is there a way to get around it?
Changing the identity or permissions of the ASP.Net account is not an option as this is a production machine with many projects running.
Is there a better way to achieve this?
Using Asp.Net 2.0, Forms Authentication.
Kind Regards.

Thank you for visiting the Q&A section on Magenaut. Please note that all the answers may not help you solve the issue immediately. So please treat them as advisements. If you found the post helpful (or not), leave a comment & I’ll get back to you as soon as possible.
Method 1
Just calling LogonUser is not enough. You need to impersonate that user. You can impersonate for just the access to the network resource.
Sample code can be found on MSDN.
Method 2
You could add an
<identity impersonate="true" userName=""/>
tag to your web.config but that might not be ideal as you probably don’t want to run the entire site as that user…
Can you map the network share as a local drive with the DomainName & Password… and then pull files to the website via the mapped drive ?
NET USE Z: \SERVERShare password /USER:DOMAINUsername /PERSISTENT:YES
Method 3
I’ve only had intimate experience with this under 1.1, so things might hav changed in the 2.0 days but…
We’ve got an app that gets deployed in intranet scenarios, and we strike the same thing. We run with identity impersonate turned on, forms mode authentication, anonymous access turned off. The easiest way to control this (that I’ve found) is to put the credentials of the user that has access in the web.config. They go on the node where you turn identity impersonate on. If it’s super scret info I wouldn’t do it this way though! We’re only accessing shared graphics in a print environment, so most sites are happy to setup a limited account for us to put in the web.confit.
LogonUser does indeed need elevated privelidges. Msdn has some good articles on how to impersonate a specific user in code. I’d fish out some links but this phone doesn’t do copy paste.
Method 4
Can you change the ACL protecting the network resource? A trick I’ve used in the past is to create an Active Directory group and then put the Computer Object into that group. I then use that group in the Access Control List of the object (file, share, etc) that I need to access.
This has allowed me to run Windows Services as Local System and get access to the protected network resources. And this trick also seems to work for the ASP.NET process which runs as Network Service.
Method 5
- With this WebPart y connect to a net resource with restricted access I put a file and y close the connection with the resource (as user with granted access), you dont need to make a new share connection, that was de only restricction, that my sistems departament make to me. May be, there are many imports that necesary, but I do to many tests and I havent got time to clean the code. I hope that help to you. (sorry for my poor english).
