在ASP.Net中临时模拟Windows身份验证的用户

Question

I'm just reading about temporarily impersonating a user in ASP.Net

at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff647405.aspx

To achieve this the following code is used.

// Temporarily impersonate the original user.

WindowsImpersonationContext wic = wi.Impersonate();
try
{
  // Access resources while impersonating.
}
catch
{
  // Prevent exceptions propagating.
}
finally
{
  // Revert impersonation.
  wic.Undo();
}

I am using Windows Server 2008 and have an application pool and just wanted to cofirm that when I am not impersonating by using the above code by default the service will then use the identity of my what I have set for my application pool.

Issue is I want a different security access to resources depending on if the user logged in via windows application or used ASP.Net forms authentication Thanks

Answer 1

That is by what I know correct. If you do not impersonate as the calling user, by default it should run under the default identity from the application pool.

Below are some good links you can go through these to understand the iis user

In summary:

• IIS 5.1 (Windows XP) - it's a local ASPNET account
• IIS 6 - by default, application pools run under the Network Service account which is a member of IIS_WPG group
• IIS 7.0 - still Network Service
• IIS 7 SP2 / 7.5 - runs under an ephemeral thing called ApplicationPoolIdentity which maps to an account IIS APPPOOL\\ApplicationPool (eg IIS APPPOOL\\DefaultAppPool). This account is a member of IIS_IUSRS user group
