Hi,
I need to use windows authentication for my web application i.e. I need my application to run under a particular user account like domainname\username. Below are the steps I had followed to do this
1) Installed windows authentication role service. Disable anonymous authentication and enable windows authentication in IIS for my web site
2) Create a new windows user account(service account like domainname\username). Grant login rights and database rights to this user account.
3) Create a new app pool in IIS 7.5.
4) Modify the connection string in web config file to use windows authentication
Now, when I try to set a custom identity for my newly created app pool in IIS, I get an error saying invalid password. See attached image. I even reset the password and tried again. but it did not work :( :(.
Can anyone help me in solving this issue? I am trying to fix this for last couple of days but to no avail :(
Thanks in advance :)
