  Problem when using App pool account for Anonymous Authentication Reply Contact I'm porting our application to IIS 7. The application is very big and uses a mixture of Classic ASP and ASP.Net pages. So far there haven't any problems, but now I've encountered one thing that is a bit irritating. I really like the possibility to use the application pool account as the anonymous account. That way you get a much more manageable situation when it comes to security. The problem is that when I enabled this for my application I encountered an error when Session_End fires; "Failed to retrieve the Anonymous User Token for ASP Application /LM/W3SVC/1/ROOT/XXXXXXX.  Global.ASA OnEnd routines will not be executed.". It occurs when we try to create a com-object by "Server.CreateObject". I can understand that there is a special situation since this isn't a user-initiated event, rather a trigger that fires on the server. But it works without problems in the older IIS-versions and it works in IIS 7 if I use the IUSR acount as anonymous user. I should add that I have the problem regardless if I use a "classic" or "pipelined" app pool. Does anyone know of a fix/workaround for this? I'd really like to run it all as the app pool account.

  Re: Problem when using App pool account for Anonymous Authentication Reply Contact Hi! This is how my section looked like. My virtual directorys name is "Arbetstagare" and it's under the Default Web Site.     <location path="Default Web Site/Arbetstagare">         <system.webServer>             <asp runOnEndAnonymously="false">                 <session timeout="00:20:00" />             </asp>             <security>                 <authentication>                     <anonymousAuthentication enabled="true" userName="" />                 </authentication>             </security>         </system.webServer>     </location>  If your virtual directory doesn't have a location path you will have to add it to the file. Make sure you do a backup before editing the file.
