[RESOLVED] impersonate user SharePoint 2010 client object model

[HawkeyeD]

I have a .net asp app that updates a SP form. I am using the Client object model. Currently when inserting a record the record is inserted using the App pool ID. Is it possible to somehow set the context to use the ID of the person logged into the webapp or a custom ID separate from the default. I can't find any data in this in the web or gong through the context methods. Can this be done?

i'm not too sure but this article on learning sharepoint has a few details, and have you looked into using a different Authentication type within sharepoint...

Unfortunately, changing the Authentication type is not possible with our current setup. However, I found that you could impersonate a particular user by using something like the following code (sorry I don't have my actual code with me so doing from memory):

clientcontext.credentials = new NetworkCredentials(<username>,<Password>,<domain>)

When you send the data up the client object model it will use the credentials set instead of the app pool.

Sorry, forgot to come back and update this when I came up with the resolution.
