Hi all,
Please bear with me on this.
I am having a strange issue where I am trying to connect to an external API through a VPN and my findings are as follows:
1. If I browse to the URL in IE it works. IE runs under my domain account.
2. If I run a console app and make the call it works. The app runs under my domain account.
3. If I make the call from a local website hosted in IIS on my machine it fails. The website runs under the ApplicationPoolIdentity account.
4. HOWEVER - If I change the website to run under my own domain account it works.
Now, the actual problem is bound to be something to do with my local infrastructure but my question for this forum is what is the difference between these accounts insofar as one would work and another wouldn't?
Is it the fact that one is authenticated and the other isn't?
My other question - which may be for a different forum - is, how could I test this using as browser? Effectively I'd want to open IE using the ApplicationPoolIdentity account but when I shift and right-click I have to enter a username and password.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Cheers
Andy
