    IMSAdminBase->GetData() returns E_ACCESSDENIED on IIS 7

    Reply Contact

    Hi,
    I have written one sample program to read Metabase entry on IIS 7.0.
    I am using IMSAdminBase->GetData() to read from LM/W3SVC/* level and it was working fine as stand alone application from any admin users account.
    Now when I try to run this executable as CGI under my site, the IMSAdminBase->GetData() call returns E_ACCESSDENIED.

    I am not sure what settings shall I do to make it run on IIS 7.0.

    Please help.

    Thanks,
    Neha

    For this to be executed the user must have read and write permission on the resource

    To be honest I dint know that this works with IIS 7 .... Did you try web.management  or web.administration API's ... I find them much easier ..

     I tried giving full permission, still it fails.

    I have never worked with web.management  or web.administration API's:( And is there any way to specify the read/write permission on Metabase keys?

     which user are you giving full permissions??

    web.management and web.administration are extensive API's for IIS 7... check these for a few details...

    Hi,

    After a long time I am again facing the similar problem. I have IIS filter which reads Metabase entries. When I set the App pool identity of my website to Local System / Administrator, it is able to read the Metabase key LM/W3SVC/1/*. However if I set it to "Network Service", it fails and returns error code E_ACCESSDENIED.

    Using the Metabase explorer I tried giving read permission to everyone, still no success. 

    I am not sure where I am wrong. This reading of key was working fine in IIS 6.0. With addded security in IIS 7.0 it fails. Please guide to resolve this issue.

    Thanks,

    Neha

    What site is the filter running for?  Only the administrators and the worker process running site1 will have access to metabase under /LM/w3svc/1.  For IIS7, you should anyway look at using IAppHostAdminManager.

    Filter is added under /LM/w3svc/1 is running for /LM/w3svc/1 only. Since this is the old code base which was working on IIS 6.0, I do not want to move to IAppHostAdminManage.

    It works with application pool's identity as LOCAL system/ Administrator. Problem comes only when I set the identity as Network Service.
