Symptoms

You deploy a Microsoft ASP.NET 2.0-based Web application to a Web site that is hosted on an Office SharePoint server. You have Internet Information Services (IIS) 7.0 or IIS 7.5 running in Integrated mode on the server. In this situation, you encounter the following issues.

Issue 1

You deploy some partially trusted Web parts on the SharePoint site. These Web parts have more permissions than they should have. This issue may create a security risk on the SharePoint site. For example, these Web parts may generate database requests or HTTP requests unexpectedly. This behavior creates a security risk.

Note Partially trusted Web parts are Web parts that are deployed to the Bin directory of a Web application.

Issue 2

The "Requests Queued" performance counter in an ASP.NET performance object functions incorrectly. When you run the SharePoint site, this issue may decrease the performance of the SharePoint site.

The "Requests Queued" performance counter functions correctly when the following conditions are true:

The application runs in IIS Classic mode.
When requests are posted to the common language runtime (CLR) thread pool, the value of the performance counter increases.
When requests leave the CLR thread pool, the value of the performance counter decreases.

Cause

Issue 1

This issue occurs because of an error in the ASP.NET 2.0 authentication component. The error causes the partially trusted Web parts to impersonate the application pool account. Therefore, the Web parts have full permission to access the SharePoint site.

Issue 2

This issue occurs because the “ASP.NET\Request Queued” performance counter only reports values when a request is queued in the ASP.NET Queue. It does not count the requests that are waiting for the CLR thread pool.

Resolution

Issue 1

This hotfix makes a new application setting available in ASP.NET 2.0. The new application setting is aspnet:AllowAnonymousImpersonation. You can enable this setting by adding the following section to the Web.config file:

    <appSettings>
        <add key="aspnet:AllowAnonymousImpersonation" value="true" />
    </appSettings>

To enable this setting, you must have IIS 7 or IIS 7.5 running in Integrated mode. When this setting is enabled, the application runs under the security context of the IUSR identity.

Issue 2

If you monitor the “ASP.NET\Request Queued” performance counter after you apply this hotfix, you see the values increase for the same application under the same load. This is because the “ASP.NET\Request Queued” performance counter counts both the requests that are queued in the ASP.NET Queue and the requests that are waiting for the CLR thread pool.

Workaround

To work around issue 1, use one of the following methods.

Method 1

Create an account that has the same username and password as the IUSR identity. Then, type the name and the password into an identity section, and then add the section into the application-level Web.config file. For example, you add the following section into the application-level Web.config file:

<identity impersonate="true" username="username" password=" password" />

Additionally, you must add the following configuration to the application-level Web.config file to suppress the IIS configuration error that occurs when you add the identity section:

<system.webServer>
<validation validateIntegratedModeConfiguration="false" />
</system.webServer>

Method 2

Enable Anonymous Authentication and ASP.NET Forms Based Authentication in IIS Classic mode. Then, use the following configuration to impersonate the anonymous user token:

<identity impersonate=”true”/>

In this situation, the anonymous user token is the IUSR token.
