[ACCEPTED]-How to present credentials in order to open file?-filesystems
You want to impersonate a user who does 3 have the rights to access the file.
I recommend 2 using a class like this - http://www.codeproject.com/KB/cs/zetaimpersonator.aspx. It hides all 1 the nasty implementation of doing impersonation.
using (new Impersonator("myUsername", "myDomainname", "myPassword"))
{
string fileText = File.ReadAllText("c:\test.txt");
Console.WriteLine(fileText);
}
I have used the Nuget package NuGet Gallery | Simple Impersonation Library 1.1.0 but there 3 are others; search on Impersonation for 2 the others.
Example usage using the interactive 1 login to work with file structures:
using (Impersonation.LogonUser("{domain}",
"{UserName}",
"{Password}",
LogonType.Interactive))
{
var directory = @"\\MyCorpServer.net\alpha\cars";
Assert.IsTrue(Directory.Exists(directory));
}
James' answer below was before Nuget and before he would later have the most downloaded package on Nuget. Ironic eh?
You can impersonate a user who has the necessary 2 rights. There is an article on MSDN that describes how 1 to do this.
