RE: Impersonation
At times users access a resource as though they were someone else. This is known as impersonation. For example if a web page has no access controls then any user can access that web page. HTML pages ASP pages and components in version 3.0 and earlier can be accessed through two accounts named IUSR_machinename and IWAM_machinename. Both the accounts are set up during IIS installation and are automatically added to all the folders in every web site on the server.

If impersonation is enabled in an ASP.NET application then:
• If anonymous access is enabled in IIS the request is made using the IUSR_machinename account.
• If anonymous access is disabled in IIS the request is made using the account of the authenticated user.
• In either case permissions for the account are checked in the Windows Access Control List (ACL) for the resource(s) that a user requests and a resource is only available if the account they are running under is valid for that resource.

If impersonation is disabled in an ASP.NET application then:
• If anonymous access is enabled in IIS the request is made using the system-level process account.
• If anonymous access is disabled in IIS the request is made using the account of the authenticated user.
• In either case permissions for the account are checked in the Windows ACL for the resource(s) that a user requests and a resource is only available if the account they are running under is valid for that resource.

RE: Impersonation

Impersonation is when ASP.NET executes code in the context of an authenticated and authorized client. It will check with the ASPNET user accounts. it will be done as follws.
<identity impersonate "true"
userName "domainuser"
password "password" />

We had used this concept to access the shared folders which are in the different system through network.
