    Problem with publishing, impersonation and permissions

    Hi, I hope someone can help on here, I've been tearing my hair out with this problem. I'm designing a web service that allows web clients to interact with a document manager. I've already designed a standalone application based on the document manager's api that allows me to perform the tasks required without using the document managers UI. I've created a class library from this application that can be referenced by a web service to gain access to it's functionality. So far so good. I've created the service in VS.Net 2005 and in debug mode, the web methods I've created work (e.g. Start() starts the application) when I invoke the method hosted by VS in a webpage. When I come to deploy the same service to a website, nothing works. I get the webpage up with the web methods and can invoke them, but get a time out response from the application. I think this is a permissions error. The application is set up to use a domain account to log in (domain\Administrator for example), but if I check the task manager, the application processes have been started by the user ASPNET. Ok I thought, I'll try impersonation. So I went through every web.config file I could find to put the impersonation tag in, but to no avail. I've even tried adding the local aspnet account to the list of logins for the application but that hasn't worked either. I'm really stuck, and have been for about 4 days now. Can anyone help?? Steve

    I'm wondering if this is an issue with the server process interacting with the desktop where in this case there isn't actually a user logged on interactively/locally.
