Minimal permissions with an Access Database and 2000 server ? -- asp.net security

Hi,

Does any one knows what account must have the Write Access to allow
edition on a Access database with an ASP .NET application with Windows
2000 ?

Under Windows 2003, it is the Network Service and not the ASPNET
account.

Thaks and best regards
Gilles

It depends on what you have in the username attribute of the
processModel your machine.config file for the wp_aspnet process model
account. Your choices are System or Machine (preferred since it's a
least-privileged account). You can edit the machine.config file and
then reset IIS.

<processModel enable="true"
userName="MACHINE" password="AutoGenerate" />

Once you are running as machine, grant ASPNET read, write, delete
perms on the file share that contains the mdb and the mdw.
