I'm having issues with the IUSR.  I need to write information to the database while a user isn't logged in to DNN.  I'm assuming when this is the case the db priviledges are set to use IUSR instead of Network Service.  Now i've been told it's bad practice to give IUSR write priviledges but how else can i write to my db?

The reason i need to do this is that when a user searches our product database it grabs extra info from the web and slowely builds up a table of extra product data.  We also need to accept annonymous orders. 

How can i solve this?

There should not be a tie between the user account and the database. DNN can easily be configured with a specific database user account that has permissions to read/write.  Actually that is the default, the only way that the logged in user would change things is impersonation was on, and using a trusted connection, and each user had a database account.  In 99.999% of cases, that is NOT the use.

hmm well all i know is that when a user logs in i can write to the db fine and when no-one is i can't.  The Network Services has write privs and the IUSR doesn't. 

I checked the impersonation tag and it's commented out.  I uncommented it and set it to false and the site wouldn't load.

Is there anything else you can recommend?

Other info: I'm loggin in to the database using Integrated security on a virtual Windows Server 2008

Scrub that, i added <identity impersonate="false"/> and it now works.

I'm not really sure whats happening here though?  Whats this tag do?  I'm assuming it's forcing the process to use Network Service.

AFAIK identity impersonation is turned on in IIS 7 Web site configuratio (ASP.Net authentication section) by default.
