Enabling Impersonation in IIS 7.5 via Powershell

Question

I hope someone can help, I am trying to enable enable "ASP.Net Impersonation" under the Authenticatuin section in IIS7, I have enabled other sections using the following command:

Set-WebConfigurationProperty `
    -filter /system.WebServer/security/authentication/windowsAuthentication `
    -name enabled `
    -value true `
    -location $SiteName

But I cannot find a similar command for setting up ASP.net Impersonation, I am guessing it has something to do with being ASP.net not IIS.

Any insight would be appreciated.

Try this:

Set-WebConfigurationProperty `
    -Filter system.web/identity `
    -Name impersonate `
    -Value True `
    -Location $SiteName

I couldn't get this to work on a desktop where ServerManager couldn't be loaded, but this approach works: https://github.com/jefflomax/configure-iis-webapps-powershell – AUSTX_RJL Nov 09 '13 at 16:26

Use -PSPath instead of -Location.

Set-WebConfigurationProperty -filter /system.web/identity -name impersonate -value true -PSPath 'IIS:\Sites\Default Web Site\WebApp'
