MS Powerpoint AppPool Identity
am 11.05.2006 23:08:01 von Ben Deweyeveryone,
I have a ASP.NET 2.0 application that is creating powerpoint documents on
the fly using powerpoint com objects that are installed on the server. I am
having some issues with security
It is currently working, but the website is running as administrator and I
would like to tighten up those permissions.
The website is a stand alone site. I created its own AppPool called
PowerpointAppPool
The website is loaded into that pool. If I set the identity to my own
personal Administrator Account everything works fine.
What I tried to do:
1. I created a Domain User account called PPT ACCESS
2. I set the Identity on the PowerpointAppPool to PPT ACCESS with the
password i set
3. then I went to AdminTools->Component Services->DCOM Config and set the
PPT ACCESS user to full launch/access/config privilidges on Microsoft
Powerpoint Presentation
I thought that would do it, but no good.
1. Is this what I should be doing?
2. Is there another service in DCOM that needs to be enabled (eg. a global
MS Office App)?
3. Is there a way to debug where the access failure is coming from?
