Impersonation

[sgelfmann]

I am a little confused about the difference between two ways of
implementing impersonation.

Some sources say that if one needs to run application under a specific
account, he should use this
<identity impersonate="true" username="username" password="password" />

Others state that the impersonate attribute should be set to false and
username and password then have to be provided as in:
<identity impersonate="false" username="username" password="password"
/>

What's the difference?

In your .NET Framework SDK documentation, paste the following address:
ms-help://MS.NETFrameworkSDKv1.1/cpgenref/html/gngrfidentitysection.htm

Otherwise expand: Reference -> Configuration File Schema -> ASP.NET Settings
Schema -> click <Identity> Element

The explanation seems pretty straightforward to me. If it is unclear, please
post again.

Thanks
