To connect to a remote Access database, ASP.NET must pass a security token for the user that it impersonates to the remote server.

Configure Share Permissions

Like NTFS file system permissions, you must also set share permissions to allow access for the same user, users, or group.

Replicate the IIS Computer's local user accounts

To grant share and NTFS permissions to the impersonated user, the Access computer must recognize that user account. If the account is a domain account, you can add it to the permissions lists on both computers. If one or more of the accounts is a local account on the IIS computer, it will not be recognized on the Access computer.

Configure local security policy permissions

You must also give the same account, accounts, or group permission to access the computer in the local security policy, unless the account or accounts already belong to a group that has permission (such as the Everyone group). You must grant the following permissions:

How to run an assembly in full trust?

What is CAS in NET Framework 4?

Starting with the .NET Framework 4, code access security (CAS) policy is disabled and assemblies are loaded in full trust. Ordinarily, this would grant full trust to assemblies loaded with the Assembly.LoadFrommethod that previously had been sandboxed. To prevent this, the ability to run code in assemblies loaded from a remote source is disabled by default. By default, if you attempt to load a remote assembly, a FileLoadExceptionwith an exception message like the following is thrown:

When is enabled attribute effective?

The enabledattribute for the <loadFromRemoteSources>element is effective only when code access security (CAS) is disabled. By default, CAS policy is disabled in the .NET Framework 4 and later versions. If you set enabledto true, remote assemblies are granted full trust.

Is a CAS policy disabled in a sandbox?

The sandboxing behavior of the current domain is different from its behavior in the .NET Framework 3.5. This requires CAS policy to be disabled, and the current domain not to be sandboxed.

What is the most popular tool for ASP.NET?

Does Kestrel use localhost?

The issue is that the default binding that Kestrel uses, binds explicitly to localhost. A localhost bound IP won't expose to the external network, so even though you might be able to access other ports on the VM over the network - like IIS running on port 80 - accessing of http://<WindowsVmIp>:5000/ is not supported without some configuration ...

Does ASP.NET Core override startup URLs?

ASP.NET Core allows overriding the startup URLs as part of the startup process for the Web host and there are a number of ways that you can do this:

Does Mono support custom runtime arguments?
