  • 0

I building a console app that runs under a normal user account to access sharepoint lists programmatically. In order to access Sharepoint objects the console application impersonates the user under the context of which the Sharepoint is running. The impersonation is successful but when I try to access any share point SPWeb objects the following error is given as follows
spWeb.ID = ‘spWeb.ID’ threw an exception of type ‘System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException’
base {System.Data.Common.DbException} = {“Cannot open database \”WSS_Content_92\” requested by the login. The login failed.\r\nLogin failed for user ‘DOM\USER’.”}

Doesnt the imepersonation should have allowed to access to the underlying database and also do i need to explicitly grant access to the current user to give access to sharepoint lists etc.

Thanks in advance

    Running the console application in the context of the same user as the application pool did the trick. So the solution would be to use the runas command.
