  Security Exception for a managed module Reply Contact Hey,  I have written a simple Http Module that would write certain IIS log entries into the event log. Very simple entries like Host address, Ip address and stuff like that. Added the module in IIS 7(rest all the settings are default) and when I run the website page it gives me a Security exception that it is not able to write into the system event logs due to no proper permissions. I tried the app with all the .Net trust levels but the same response. :) Anyways I got it working when I used an Admin account for my App Pool. Everything is working fine. But I thought it was the .Net trust levels that kicks in for http modules?? What am I missing and is it possible to get it to work with medium trust with a non-admin account?? I am using Windows Server 2008 Standard edition with Visual C# express edition.     Regards, MA Khan http://www.iisworkstation.com “Please remember to click “Mark as Answer” on the post that helps you, and to click “Unmark as Answer” if a marked post does not actually answer your question.

  Re: Security Exception for a managed module Reply Contact Oh my typo :) it is not the system event log it is the application event log that i meant... It is possible that we can have the module write into the application event log with the defult AppPool Settings itself??

  Re: Security Exception for a managed module Reply Contact What really fails when writing to the Event Log is that you probably have not registered the Event Source which tries to write to the registry which you cannot do from an ASP.NET application. If you write a small "setup" program that registers the Event Source you should be able to write to the Application Event Log with no problems. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/329291
