asp.net impersonation limits?

[Martin]

Hi,

Are there limits to asp.net impersonation?

I'm using CrystalReports.Net to print from an asp.net application.

Although my diagnostic
Label3.Text= System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity.GetCurre nt().Name;

indicates I have configured impersonation correctly,
<authentication mode="Windows"/>

<authorization>

<allow users="*"/> <!-- Allow all users -->

<deny users="?"/>

</authorization>

<identity impersonate="true"/>


I am getting a message indicating the print is going to the ASPNET account
print queue.
Error in File
C:\DOCUME~1\DELL\ASPNET\LOCALS~1\Temp\temp_590ea2b c-26f0-4fb6-b1ce-53315f43d
e8c.rpt: Request cancelled by the user.

I have also unticked "Anonymous Access" in "Authentication Modes" for the
web app in IIS 5.1 (on XP Pro).

Any ideas?
Thanks
Martin

I am having the similar problem ... I am creating a PDF file using Crystal
Report from a web page. The temporary crystalreport.rpt file is created in
the
"Document and Settings\MachineName\ASPNET\Local Settings\Temp" folder
without problem (so, write is OK), but when it tries to access it to export
to pdf file, it gets Access Denied error message. I used the same test (
System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity.GetCurre nt().Name ) to see if the
impersonation is working or not...apparently yes, but still gets the security
(I think) error. I added ASPNET account in this folder's Security option with
full permissions, and still gets this error. I even went to change the
Machine.Config to make processModel userName="SYSTEM", but still gets this
error. I am sorry that I cannot offer you the solution, but I know your pain.
