I tried this:
> runas /user: domain\user cmd with no luck
This seems to only occur now when IIS is reset and I try to resume my browsing session. So I am logged into the application, I reset IIS on the server, refresh the page and see the error.
I am building an application in .NET 4.0 MVC with a Secure Token Service that is using WIF 4.0. Everything works as expected, except this case. I even tried to use a custom error page, but the error is happening there as well. Because of that, I can't get the custom page to show either. Also, This is using a certificate that is located on both load balanced servers. This happens in my dev environment whihc consists of only one server (app, wfe, db operated there)
One thing I noticed is that if I switch my IIS APP Pool user back to Network Service account it doesn't throw the error any more. We have some restrictions (mostly network related) in the application that we need to use an account in our AD for the app pool sections
Anybody have any experience with this issue?
