Unauthorized Access Exception
Hello,
I've got an error with my Web Part that is driving me Insane. I Keep getting the following error when I try to create a file:
Error raised by Precedents Manager Error Log. System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path "\\CWBSSQLDEV\PrecedentsTree\Temp\633048097168871048_PrecedentSample1.doc" is denied.
Message:

The
File is Being created on a Shared Directory at CWBSSQLDEV. This dir has
been given so many access rights that a local machine account in
Albania could probably access it. I've tried loads of things but here
are the general approaches I've tried.
- The Web Part was in a Bin Directory and Signed with a Public Key
that gave it high privillages on our Network. I tried fiddling with the
Sharepoint Policy File but after meeting with little success I moved
the WP into the GAC. According to the policy file this should have
given it Full Trust but i'm still getting the error.
- As default the Sharepoint web.config has Impersonation enabled. My
account is already a Domain Admin but I tried using one of our
Administrator accounts just to be sure. I dumped out the
GetCurrentWindowsIdentity() to the HtmlOutput and it seems to be
correctly picking me up (ie my Account name appeared).
- I've enabled Security Auditing on Both the Sharepoint Server and
the Server with the File Share. the SPS box does not display any failed
access attempts (just Logon/Log Off success messages) and the Box with
the Share doesn't even display attempted logins, as if the call isn't
even getting that far.
- Just to tick off the obvious, Both Servers are in the Same domain.
we have Sharepoint set up to use a service account which is running as
a Domain Admin.
- The Code doesn't do anything cunning, just makes a straight
File.Create("Path"). To be honest, I'm a bit out of my depth here when
it comes to Security Tokens and all the rest of it. I read an article
about Setting the Windows Indentity using Impersonation but if I'm
already doing this through the web.config I don't see why this would
help?
There are probably other things but they were mainly stabbing in the
dark (well most of it has been stabbing in the dark!). I've reached the
point where I have no idea what to try, Anyone got any ideas?
Thanks very much,
Olly
