shell from aspx page to local EXE

[dtv]

Hello

On a web server i have an aspx page which calls an EXE, waits, gets the result and sends it back to the user through the browser.

command_line= "lsrunas.exe /user:Administrator /password*** /domain:myPC /command:""d:\onair\tts_app\tts.exe /f:" & FileName & " " & Text & """ /runpath:""d:\onair\tts_app"""

tts.exe produces an mp3 file which contains synthesized speech based on the given text. lsrunas.exe is the known utility to run the exe as another user.

Shell( command_line, True )

If i run the 'command_line' from the Start->Run menu (its win xp pro), then the EXE works ok.

But when it runs through the aspx page and Shell, it produces an error and terminates. Sorry i cant recall the error code (something like 0x400...) but in a little search i did it has something to do with DLL initialization, the app cant start correctly.

As i said, the 'command_line' (as given from me above) works ok using the start->run dialog.

So i am pretty sure it has something to do with Rights. This service made from me a year ago, it worked then after lot of headaches, but now after a new windows installation i cant remember what i did to make it work.

Can someone help?

I don't understand. If you're saying your webpage called a program outside of the domain, it wouldn't work. The source and destination would be in IIS settings

No, the EXE is inside the domain, the folder 'd:\onair' is declared as 'wwwroot'.

A year ago as i said i managed to make it run, but with that new windows installation and iis , some of the settings lost.

Can you tell me how to tell my aspx application that it can run everything as Administrator and not as a simple aspnet user? Where to change this?

Thanks.

Not sure, but not likely. This might be an issue:

/domain:myPC

Or, your IsRunAs.exe. Never heard of it, but there are other options that could possibly work.

if i copy-paste the 'lsrunas.exe.........tts.exe......" to the Start->Run and click OK, the command line runs successfully.

Look for Elevate.vbs

Also look into the permissions of the folder holding the Application...

Specifically the Execute permission for IIS_USER ...
