  Cannot Impersonate the Authenticating User in Code

  Dec 15, 2012 02:54 AM|LINK

  I need the application impersonate UserA to access a shared folder.

  I modify Web.config file to impersonate a userA and the web application access the shared folder successfully. 
  web.config:
  <identity impersonate="true" userName="domain\userA" password="password" />

   

  But I cannot Impersonate the userA in Code.

  web.config:
  <identity impersonate="true" />

  Code:
  System.Security.Principal.WindowsImpersonationContext impersonationContext;
  impersonationContext = WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent().Impersonate();
  //my code
  impersonationContext.Undo();

  After the application access the shared folder, I check the security event on the shared folder's server, it showed anonymous logon. (I checked the WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent() is userA.)

  What should I do? Thanks!!

  Something like authentication or something else...

  Your step is total same as "How to implement impersonation in an ASP.NET application" said.. Im not sure where is your error part..

  if you dont' set identity impersonate = "True" in web.config, does your code work? 

  Best Regards.
