Setting permissions for IIS user names such as Application Identity
I'm trying to setup an IIS .NET web application but am having problems granting permissions to allow the IIS process to write to files
The application is latest .NET with a Sql Server backend. As part of its processing it has to write to files in a virtual directory.
It gets installed to
c:program filescompanyappnameweb
And a virtual directory in IIS points to a folder:
c:program filescompanyappnameuserdata
After granting file system access to the userdata folder, the system errors with permissions failure. The way I do this normally is to grant permissions to either IUSR or IIS_IUSRS, but neither of these successfully grants permission on this server, which is a DoD windows build.
The server is in a domain.
When I grant access to Everyone:full control, it works. However this is a defense setup and they are hardly likely to be happy with "Everyone" being granted permissions so I need to find the specific user to grant access to.
The application pool is setup to run as "Application Identity" and its the same issue if I run it as "Network Service".
Which user name do I use to grant permissions ? or how do I go about finding out what that username is ?
thanks in advance :)
