Hi,

I'm having problems getting DNN to work properly (some access denied permissions) due to my hosting provider does no want to grant the ASPNET account full control over the DNN folders/files "for security" reasons (they say that if someone hacks my DNN site it could compromise the rest of the hosted sites).

The hosting support services guys tell me to use "<identity inpersonate="true" />", but only with that It does not even show the home page.

So I decided to add the userName and password attributes to the  identity tag... With this I could get to the Home page, but with an errror message saying that several moduloes could not be loaded...

By the way, I'm using the default "forms" authentication mode.

So... How should I configure de web config (or anything else, including IIS) to make DNN work as if the ASPNET account had the proper permissions?

Environment Data:

.Net Framework: 2.0.50727.1433 (Framework 2.0 SP1)

Windows Version: Microsoft Windows NT 5.2.3790 Service Pack 2  (I guess it is WIN 2003 Server SP2)

IIS: Microsoft-IIS/6.0

Cheers, please help!!! :-)

Hey Stuart!

Thanks for your reply!

Probably the Hosting Provider will not want to grant write access to MY OWN folders (they say that it can compromise REST of the hosted sites if my page is hacked... I'm not an expert in security, but is that possible?)

And thanks for the tip about permissions over the child elements! (I guess you mean that the user that I set for impersonation might not have permissions over ALL subfolders and files, is that correct?)

Cheers,

PS: changing subject... why I never get mail notification of the replies eve though I allways check the "Notification" checkbox? Is it a DNN bug? (My email account is correctly set) (this question had nothing to do with the matter of discussion, sorry, I'm just curious)
