When users make requests to Content Central, Internet Information Services will use an ASP.NET process identity to access resources such as the SQL Server. Perform the following if you would like to define a different Windows® account for these operations.

Note:  When operating Content Central in a multi-server environment, impersonation is mandatory.

Within the Application tab of the ASP.NET Configuration Settings dialog for the Content Central virtual directory, add a check to the Local impersonation checkbox and provide a pre-defined user account for impersonation. Select the OK button to save the ASP.NET configuration settings. Select the OK button to save the changes to the Content Central Web site. You may now exit the Internet Information Services dialog.

Once impersonation has been enabled, the account used must be allowed permissions to read and write within a few of the previously-defined data folder(s) (See Section 3, “Adding Proper Security Credentials to Data Folders”). The account will also need read and write access to the database in SQL (described later).
