Description
Configures the ASP.NET process model settings on a Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) Web server. The processModel section can be set only within the Machine.config file and affects all ASP.NET applications that are running on the server.
Attributes:
comAuthenticationLevel - Specifies the level of authentication for DCOM security. Connect - specifies that DCOM authenticates the credentials of the client only when the client establishes a connection to the server.
comImpersonationLevel - Specifies the authentication level for COM security. Impersonate - specifies that the server process can impersonate the security context for the client while acting on behalf of the client. This level of impersonation can be used to access local resources, such as files. When impersonating at this level, the impersonation token can be passed across only one machine boundary.
password - Causes, if present (and in conjunction with a userName), the worker process to run with the configured Microsoft Windows identity. See userName for more information about the special names System and Machine, which do not require a password, and for information about storing encrypted worker process credentials in the registry. Note: There are security risks associated with storing credentials in a configuration file.
userName - Specifies that ASP.NET will run the worker process with a Windows identity that is different from the Windows identity for the default process identity. By default, this attribute is set to the Machine, and the process runs under a user account named ASPNET that is created automatically when ASP.NET is installed. The password for the ASPNET account is cryptographically generated at the time of installation. If valid credentials are presented in this attribute and the password attribute, the process is run with the given account. One other value for userName is System, with the password AutoGenerate, which runs the process as an administrative account and allows all ASP.NET user code that is running under the process to have full administrative privileges.
