Writing to a UNC path with the uploading tools

Reply Quote

Please follow the below instructions:

Step 1: Create a domain account which has the write permission to your UNC share

Username: yourdomain/admin

password="admin”

To access resources on a UNC, your application must run under a domain enabled primary secuirty token, the easiest way to do this is to use impersonation in your web config:

<identity

impersonate="true"

userName="yourdomain/admin"

password="admin”

where the user name is a domain account with permission to the resouce. all users of

your web site will have the same access permissions to the network resource.

Step 2: create a virtual directory on your Web server and point it to your UNC share folder.

I set up a virtual directory called ~/imageurl, which points to \\myserver\imageurl.

and in config file, I specify

securityname="ImageGalleryPath">~/imageurl</security>

When click insert image button, I get

Apprently, your code did not use Server.MapPath to get the physical path which should be \\myserver\imageurl.

I tried

securityname="ImageGalleryPath">\\myserver\imageurl</security>

this does not work either.

Do you know a way to work around and make it work?

Thanks

Sunny

sunny,

If you can't get this work, please check your web.config file and make sure you use impersonation in your web config.

Username: yourdomain/admin

password="admin”
