I have an Asp.Net MVC 2 Web Application and an SQL Express service.
Is it possible to use a defined Windows user instead of the built-in IUSR to connect to the database.
If yes, please indicate the required settings
Thanks.
If you want to run all your DB requests as a specific user then modify your app pool to run as the desired user. See Specify an Identity for an Application Pool. This is the correct way, you will find plenty of bad advice on this topic, like using LogonUser. Don’t do that.
If you want to connect to the DB as whichever the user that connected to your intranet site, then you need to use impersonation ( see ASP.NET Impersonation) and enable constrained delegation (see Configuring Constrained Delegation for IIS).
