Re: C# connect to IFS for file writing

Here's an article for connecting to file shares from within an application directly by connecting with the appropriate credentials.

This might be worth a look.

We have a Windows service where we're running under a specific user, but it's still not the same as the iSeries user, so connecting on the fly seems to be a good option.

Should work from an ASP.Net app as well me thinks.

Ok, so this should not be this hard, and I believe that I'm just totally in a writers block on a Friday.



I have an IFS folder that I'm trying to write logging and xml data to.
Now, the .dll that runs the code is being called from a web app running in IIS. Its boiling down to an authentication issue. Its like the
AS400 doesn't like the user that is trying to do the writing. But damned if I can do anything to even figure out what the user is, or even how I can just open up the path. I've gone into iSeries Nav and changed the permissions on the /root and the two folder level under /root that I'm trying to access. If I use the .Save() for an XmlDocument it tells me Access Denied. If I write and write via a StreamWriter I get a bad path error (my guess is due to permissions).



Any thoughts?????
