Iam reading an article and author mentions IUSR_<machinename> and IWAM_<machinename>
whats all this about.then you need to adjust the permissions on the SCRRUN.DLL. Here's how you do it: Navigate to your WINNTSYSTEM32 directory and find the SCRRUN.DLL. Right-click the file and select properties. Then click the security tab and ensure that the IUSR_<machinename> and IWAM_<machinename> accounts have "read" and "read & execute" permissions.
Does ASP only use the IUSR_<IIS Machine Name> to gain access to files
located on a LAN, or can another user account name and password be setup?
To create a file on another computer on the LAN in ASP using the
FileSystemObject requires permissions on that other computer. Using a DSN
for a ODBC driver requires permissions to SELECT records from a database
file on another computer on the LAN. Must I use the IUSR_ account only?
I'm using an asp template to connect to a third party application using a com interface. (read mail and fax messages from a Tobit Software) In the process some files are copied to a local directory. In order for this template to work I had to give IUSER_[machinename] and IWAM_[machinename] read/write rights to the folder where the created files are saved.
My client has a problem with this setup. He pays license fees for Tobit Software on "per user" basis and since he only has a license for one user (Admin) he doesn't want me to use IUSER and IWAM. Is there a way not to use these users??? I'm a ColdFusion programmer and I'm using ASP only because CF can't use this particular com (issues with variant data types). In CF environment I don't have such problems because I have CF service logs in as an Administrator so it has a full access to the system, however I don't know how to set it up in ASP.
Due to the nature of our system, we need to dynamically import certificate
files into windows certificates store and access the certificate store from
ASP pages, these ASP pages call a VB dll component, which uses the CAPICOM
component to manipulate windows certficate store.
Because ASP is running under IWAM account, we got "Access is denied" error
when trying to import the certificate files. We registered the VB
components under COM+ to get around this security problem. However,
recently we are experiencing all sorts of problems with COM+ ( eg.
DLLHost.exe hang with 100% CPU after heavy traffic, ActiveX component can
not be created out of sudden), we decided to move this VB component out of
COM+, which means we are facing the same old "Access is denied" problem
again. Code:
