I'm trying to set the Identity of the Application Pool to a specific account. When I'm entering the password for a user name it says
The specified password is invalid.Type a new password.
Is there any specific requirement for the password field?
Browse the following path on command prompt “%systemroot%system32inetsrv” and run APPCMD list apppool “Demo User” /text:* Replace “Demo User” with the App Pool name of which you want to retrieve the password. 4. Under the [processModel] section you will get the username and password which is in Clear Text .
Click the Locations button and make sure that you select your computer. Enter IIS AppPool\<myappoolname> (eg: IIS AppPool\PK Protect) in the Enter the object names to select: text box. Click the Check Names button and click OK. Check Modify under the Allow column, and click OK, and OK.
Right-click on the application pool (EasiShare_SA) and select "Advanced Settings..." Navigate to Process Model> Identity> Click on the "MoreOptions" icon (three horizontal dots) Under Custom account > Click Select > Enter the new password in the "Password" and "Confirm Password" fields.
For me, it was that I wasn't adding the domain name to the login (DOMAIN\USER). It was defaulting to a local account
The user account you specify must have "Access this computer from the network" user right in group policy.
If this is server is joined to a domain, will need to add this right via Group Policy -> Computer Configuration -> Policies -> Windows Settings -> Security Settings -> Local Policies -> User Rights Assignment.
