IUSR permissions and sockets
|
|
| Felipe 2004-04-23, 11:34 am |
| Hello,
Does anyone know what permissions the IUSR account needs to open UDP
and TCP sockets? I have an application that runs fine when IIS
executes as me (administrator-level), but obviously I need things to
be more secure than that. When I switch to the IUSR account, my
application logs tell me that the error comes with trying to open a
UDP connection with another server.
I'm using IIS6 on Win2k3. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks!

| What is the EventID, Event Source and Description? How are you attempting to
open the socket?
Cheers

| It's a PERL CGI script that uses the socket() function. I'm not sure how
to find Event ID etc....
It fails with "Can't create TCP/IP socket (5)". I believe the error
number corresponds with a plain ol' permissions problem, but I can't
find where it would be.

| Hi,
Where are you seeing this error? In your browser?
Before you mentioned an application log - there is an application log that
is part of the Windows Event Log, which is why I asked for EventID, etc. You
may be talking about some other event log.
Cheers
