    Hello,

    I have a web service in which i am making connection to the database to get data..now i want that the app pool account should be used to make the connection and not the current user's credentials..can somebody tell me step by step what changes do i need to make  like setting impersonation=true etc...i am really confused how to set it up.

     

    Thanks

    1. Replace the application pool account to an application user (instead of NETWORK_SERVICES) and give it's password

    2. Add the account to IIS_WPG users group on your app server

    3. Grant the user with the needed permissions on the database

    4. Don't change the web.config (You shouldn't impersonate, if you did, change it back)
