what is impersonation in ASP.NET?
Answers were Sorted based on User's Feedback
Answer / sachin
impersonation is the process of assigning a user account to
an unknown user.By default, the anonymous access account is
named IUSER_machinename. This account can be use to control
anonymous users' access to resources on the server.
This mechanism allows a server process to run using the
security credentials of the client. When the server is
impersonating the client, any operations performed by the
server are performed using the client's credentials.
Impersonation does not allow the server to access remote
resources on behalf of the client.

Answer / srikanth
Everthing that asp.net does is through the windows account
that is defined in machine .config which is aspnet.
Now if you want your application alone to run in a
different account, you can change this identity to be
changed temporarily so that the asp.net will run in another
account(provided it is a windows account)

Answer / r.suresh kumar
By default, ASP.NET executes in windows account. Sometimes
you need to access data from network resources such as a
file on a shared drive, which requires additional
permissions. One way to overcome this restriction is to use
impersonation. With impersonation, ASP.NET can execute the
request using the identity of the client who is making the
request, or ASP.NET can impersonate a specific account you
specify in web.config.
