web.config

I have a Windows Server 2008 R2 called Jack11 that joined a domain called Watson.org.

It has IIS 7 installed.

From my understanding, we need to add the following into the web.config file

<system.web>
    <identity impersonate="true" />
</system.web>

Also, we need to ensure that the server Jack11 can ping to the domain Watson.org.

What other setting do we need to setup in order for a user of domain Watson.org (e.g. the user Watson\User1 to access the application in the Server IIS?

This is because currently, there is a problem as follows:

Exception Details: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Login failed for user 'WATSON\User1'.

The error message was displayed when the user User1 wish to access one of the web application in server Jack11 IIS and that web application also do some retrieval of records from the database, which is installed in SQL Server 2008 Enterprise located in the same server Jack11.
