  Elevated Security

  Feb 26, 2013 10:56 AM|LINK

  I have a page that will need to be able to write to the AD of another domain so requires logging in as another user when it runs that code.

  I found this on the MSDN site

  Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
          Label1.Text = Me.User.Identity.Name
  
          Dim impersonationContext As System.Security.Principal.WindowsImpersonationContext
          Dim currentWindowsIdentity As System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity
  
          currentWindowsIdentity = CType(User.Identity, System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity)
  
          impersonationContext = currentWindowsIdentity.Impersonate()
  
  
  
          'Insert your code that runs under the security context of the authenticating user here.
          Label2.Text = System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent().Name
  
  
          impersonationContext.Undo()
  
      End Sub

  but do not understand where i am supposed to pass in the credentials of the user i wish to log in as.

  also .impersonate seems to require a login type that i am at complete loss as to how to obtain.

  if anyone could explain this i would be very greatful.

   

  Alex.
