Chris and Erik, thank you for the additional thoughts. The problem with impersonating a specific user, is that you then have to have the password for that user.
Storing a salt or other key value in my assembly is what I am trying to avoid. Unless I am missing something there just doesn't seem to be a way to create a secure path between an app and stored data without something key (salt, password, etc.) being stored in a readily available format. I consider in-the-assembly to be readily available. -Mont =================================== This list is hosted by DevelopMentorĀ® http://www.develop.com View archives and manage your subscription(s) at http://discuss.develop.com
