KB-SA-0008-Accessing resources under user's indentity

 

Date:

September 1, 2004

 

Applies to:

Secure Access 2.1 and any later version

 

Summary:

When logged in using NTLM authentication, coupled with your product, are users able to access resources such as SQL server and network file shares without use of a service user?

 

Solution:

Yes, the HttpContext.User object representing the security context of the user is set so that you access all the resources under the user's identity. If you would like to access SQL server do not forget to put the following tag to the <system.web> section of web.config.

      <identity impersonate="true" />
