what is impersonation in ASP.NET?

Answer Posted / 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.
