File permissions ignored until a IIS restart
Posted on 2004-04-09
Greetings
We are using a .NET application to connect to authorize.net. When first doing this, we were getting the following permissions error. "Unable to find an entry point named EnumerateSecurityPackagesW
security.dll"
To fix the issue, I added the ASPNET user group to the file that connects to authorize.net, gave it full control, re-started IIS, and the error went away. For about 5 days that is, then it returned generating the above error
When it returned, I noticed I could fix the problem by re-starting IIS. Again, same thing. It works again but every 4-5 days it stops working generating the above error.
In an attempt to resolve the issue once and for all, I added the ASPNET user group to the entire website and gave it modify permissions. I also checked the box in IIS to allow script access for this site. Again after 4 days it stopped working again generating the above error.
The least time, I noticed that the ASPNET user group was removed from the entire web except the file I had originally set it on and the script access box had mysteriously become unchecked. It would seem IIS permissions are being overwriiten and/or ignored. Any clues as to why this happens and so sporadically?
Thanks....Rob

Greetings all.....
My bad. Please ignore the last paragraph above that starts with
"The least time, I noticed that the ASPNET user group was removed from the entire web except the file I had originally..."
This was not the case. BUT I still need to know why the file permissions are ignored every few days and why I have to re-start IIS to correct the problem.

I found this and it seems to be on the right tracks:

Thank you but that is not the issue. I have seen that documentation before and there is not a name conflict. If there were then it would not work at all. Again, many thanks!
I accept What90s answer. The problem was a file named security.dll that existed on the server. Please not the file doesn ot need to exist on the smae website - just on the server somewhere and it will casue a problem. Details here.
