Problem with IIS 6.0

Can anyone expalin to me how to let ASP code access files located on a mapped drive (this mapped drive points to a share folder on another computer) on IIS 6.0 (Windows Server 2003)

Thanks

a) Do not use mapped drive letters - use UNC paths
b) The user account that IIS is impersonating needs to have rights to the
remote share (eg the default anonymous user account: IUSR_<machine> is local
to the webserver and can't be assigned rights to the remote machine)
c) If you are requiring the user to authenticate, you will need to:
- use Basic Auth + SSL
and/or
- Kerberos + Delegation
and/or
- if you are using Windows 2003 domain, then you can use protocol
transition
Otherwise, the token that IIS has doesn't have permission to logon to remote
resources

Please see the following code
'''''''''''''''''''''''''''
set oFoxConn = server.CreateObject ("ADODB.Connection"
oFoxConn.Open ("DSN=aaa"
Response.Write oFoxConn.State & "<hr>
set oFoxRs = server.CreateObject ("ADODB.recordset"
oFoxRs.Open "select * from ORDHDR",oFoxCon
Response.Write oFoxRs.RecordCount & "<hr>
oFoxRs.Clone
oFoxConn.Close
set oFoxConn = nothin
'''''''''''''''''''''''''
in the line : oFoxRs.Open "select * from ORDHDR",oFoxCon
I get the following error
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80040e37'

[Microsoft][ODBC Visual FoxPro Driver]File 'ordhdr.dbf' does not exist.

/asp2fox/conn.asp, line 5

1. The DSN is points to Map drive I got the above error
2. The DSN is points to UNC path I got the above error
3. The DSN is points to local drive works fine.

Hi,

Please reread my previous post. If you do not understand something, please
ask.

Alternatively, goto my site: www.adopenstatic.com On the homepage there is a
link to download a sample chapter from my IIS 6.0 security book. It explains
impersonation and authentication if you need more indepth information (I am
not going to post it all here - there's about 25 pages worth of stuff).

Cheers
Ken

Sorry
But I did what you said nothing work also, I cahnged the IIS Account for this virtual directory (Security) to the Administrator user of the remote machine, the same error ...
Note: I can't add permission for the IUSR_WEBSERVER user on the remote machine.

Of course you can't. As Ken said, the IIS Anonymous account is a
*local* account. It doesn't exist on the remote machine. You need to
use a domain account, or provide an account on the remote machine that
has access.
