Folder Access to access.mdb database

Hi guys:

 

Sorry for the lack of knowledge on ASP.net, I am actually a security
administrator faced with the following issue:

I restricted access to a Folder which contains an access.mdb database to the
following:

Internet_Guest_Accounts


Systems

Enterprise Admins

and two specific users (owners)

The ASP comes into play because when the folder had (has) Everyone it works
(reads from access database) correctly but, when restricted as above it does not
work.

 What can I possibly do (give rights to certain services) on that particular
folder to make it work without granting rights to Everyone.

 

Thank you for your expertise.

You need to apply Modify permissions on the folder to the user under which the
ASP.NET app runs.  On WinXP, that's ASPNET.  On Win2k3, it's NETWORK SERVICE. 
If the app has been developed against version 2.0 of the .Net framework, the
best place to put the database is in the App_Data folder.  While it falls under
the root of the site, it has been configured not to serve files through IIS, so
no one can browse to it and download it.
