What type of password I have to give to set the custom account for application pool identity [closed]

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

If you are using a gMSA service account you have to enter domani\account$, meaning add a dollar sign at the end of your username.

Answer 3

Another common cause for this error is long usernames... if you continue to be baffled (as I was), try using the "Pre-Windows 2000" version of the username, as listed in AD (assuming you're using a domain account). Worked for me!

Answer 4

It might also mean that the account is Locked Out (too many failed login attempts before), which you can configure in the Local Users and Groups MMC.

Answer 5

I bumped in to this problem but my solution was something different

I was using a VM and by default the VM created an administrator user but created it without a password.

I had to go out of IIS, in to user settings, add a password to my user and then back to IIS. I then entered the details accordingly and the whole thing worked :-)

I mistakingly thought I was creating a new user here for IIS - I don't believe that is the case you must use an existing user (as in a Windows user).

Answer 6

Use Your Laptop Password it worked for me.
