    configuring ApplicationPoolIdentity for Umbraco

    Hi,

    I read that the new ApplicationPoolIdenty account is more secure than the Network Service account. Has anyone experience with configuring an Umbraco website to use the ApplicationPoolIdentity account?

    Thanks for your advice,

    Anthony

    It is, and you configure it just the same way as the Network Service account. Personally, I've been too lazy to switch, but it should be really easy.

    Hi Sebastiaan,

    I followed Paul Sterlings instructions on this blog page: http://www.motusconnect.com/blog/2009/3/6/umbraco-security-best-practices

    But if I try to access my Umbraco site I get this error message:

     

    Access to the path 'C:\inetpub\eshms\App_Data\umbraco.config' is denied.


    But I gave the App_Data folder the correct (modify & read) permissions. So I'm a bit stuck now.

    greetings,

    Anthony

    Hi Sebastiaan,

    I got it working. Configuring the ApplicationPoolIdentity user is a little more work than configuring security for the Network Service account. You need to manually search for the IIS APPOOL\{your application pool} account. Also for setting up the ms sql security you need to manually search this account. But hey, better security is worth this extra effort of work, right :)

    Cheers,

    Anthony
