ISAPI Filters and Shared Folder access?

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   We're trying to write an ISAPI filter that reads configuration
information from a file. Since we have a large installation with quite
a few web servers, we'd like this configure information to come from a
shared filesystem, so that all the web servers can read the same data,
and we only have to manage it in a single location.

We have the filter working - if the file is on a local hard disk. If we
try to access a shared filesystem, it doesn't work. We know it has to
be a permissions issue, but we can't figure out why IIS can deliver the
file (if you call it from an 'http://' request - IIS can deliver it
back to the browser), but the filter can't open it and read it.

Does anyone know how to get this working? (Or know of a person/resource we can use to figure it out?)
