I am installing DNN 5.1.3 on Windows 2008 with IIS7. I need to install it using a specific domain user account to run the application pool, in order for other web servers to share information between the DNN application and themselves.
If I install DNN using the defaults, it works fine. If I start from scratch, but use the domain user to run the application pool, it fails with this error:
Security Exception
