I have a web service that stores data in a local SQL Server 2008 database. If I run the web service under my account the web service can successfully access the database. However, if I use the DefaultAppPool (IUSR) account then accessing the database from the web service fails.
How do I set security on SQL Server to allow access to a specific database via IIS?
The specific error message I am getting is:
Login failed for user ‘IIS APPPOOL\DefaultAppPool’
You have two options (obvious maybe!):
Security use SQL Authentication
instead.
to create a new user in SQL Server
that relates to that Windows account.
