I'm a developer who is working on a site that needs to use some network resources that are located on a linux network that is managed by Samba (sorry, I don't know the exact mix of terms and technology). Basically, I have a user/password provided to me by the Admin. How do I make IIS 7 use this user so I can get access to the network resources?

You should just be able to configure it as a virtual directory for your site; give it the full path to the share, and specify the username/password that your admin gave you when you're creating the virtual directory. There are a couple of permission problems you may run up against while doing this, which are described (along with a workaround) here. |

I would avoid whenever possible doing this - you can run in to really obscure networking/file permission issues (As Rainy Rat has already mentioned). However if you have to, why not just map the Samba share as a network drive? Nice and simple! |
