Here's the situation...
I have "inherited" and application that was developed in asp.net which uses the CSK for authentication. I was supplied this application as a .zip file with a .bak of the databases which i have unzipped and restored onto my server. I have created the site in IIS and I can browse to it. However, when I try to authenticate I get the very helpful error 26 error.
The really cool thing about this situation is that although my client has paid for the development and the intellectual property the developer has not provided the source code, the local developer contact hasn't a clue how the application was originally deployed, and the person who actually did the development has disappeared (presumably having seen the light will re-emerge at a later date as a PHP developer).
What steps do I need to go through to deploy this application in this new environment? Win 2003; SQL 2005; IIS 6; ASP.NET 2.0.50727
