ASP.NET Webservice Account

[Sachin]

Hi All,

I uderstand that the web service runs under the ASPNET service account.

Is it possible to change this and make web service run under some other
account, say domain\user?

If yes, how?

Thanks in advance
Sachin

If it's IIS5 then you need to modify <processModel> in machine.config. If
you're running in IIS6 (highly recommended) then you configure this in your
Appliction Pool in IIS6's config tool.

You should note, that security best practices advise against using an
account other than the ASPNET account. What is it that you are trying
to do that requires you to run under a differ user account?

If you want to do this for security purposes try using the WSE tools from
microsoft and require users to log in to use the webservice.
