Hi David. I have some problem whith Asp Applications (Not Asp.net) that running on IIS6 machine and have to authenticate to SQL remote server whith trusted connection and not SQL connection. according to our security needs our application running whithout anonymous user and every user in the intrprise must authenticate to application. I defined Domain User on Application poll witch running this asp application ; but problem is that IIS doesn't understand this configuration and doesn't authenticate application to SQL by ussing Application poll user like in asp.net application when i use impersonation=true mode, and i get the next error:
login failed for user "nt authority\anonymous logon" filename.ASP, LINE line_number.

THANK YOU

Phylyp - Thanks.

It amazes me that despite having all information and interactions documented, nothing pulls it all into comparative context so that it makes useful sense.

Unfortunately, this sort of synthesis is precisely where traditional documentation efforts fail, and it is one of the reasons why I blog... because I got tired of trying to get documentation writers to publish this sort of information on my behalf and WITHOUT their "technical edits" of my writing). And with a blog, I completely bypass that red-tape and directly publish the synthesized facts.

Security may not be black and white, but thank you David, for explaining the above points in a black-and-white manner! That was very clear!!
