I have an ASP.Net app .net 3.5 SP1, running in Win7 . During the login process, something within the ASP.Net login control is causing a write to the security log (this sounds acceptable to me) in the event log. The problem is that it seems the app doesn t have permission to do this. There error is:
Description: The application attempted to perform an operation not allowed by the security policy. To grant this application the required permission please contact your system administrator or change the application s trust level in the configuration file.
Exception Details: System.Security.SecurityException: Request for the permission of type System.Diagnostics.EventLogPermission, System, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089 failed.
The stack trace doesn t show a single line of code from my application, its all in the framework. The last 5 lines are: System.Security.CodeAccessSecurityEngine.Check(Object demand, StackCrawlMark& stackMark, Boolean isPermSet) +0 System.Security.CodeAccessPermission.Demand() +61 System.Diagnostics.EventLog..ctor(String logName, String machineName, String source) +125 System.Diagnostics.EventLog..ctor() +24 System.Diagnostics.EventLog.WriteEntry(String source, String message, EventLogEntryType type, Int32 eventID, Int16 category, Byte[] rawData) +52
This same app works fine on XP SP2. I ve hunted around and can t find how to give permissions. I ve tried running hte app pool as LocalSystem and ApplicationPoolIdentity.
Whats the easiest way to get this running? Its my local dev machine and I don t care if I open up security holes, as long as I don t have to modify code (ie I need the solution to be an INETMGR change or web.config or some local permissions, etc).
Thanks!
