how to run iisexpress app pool under a different identity

by

It looks like this should be possible. In your IIS Express site’s applicationhost.config file, there is a <processModel/> element defined in <applicationPoolDefaults> under <applicationPools>

The <processModel> element has attributes for userName and password.

From MSDN:

Specifies that ASP.NET will run the worker process with a Windows identity that is different from the Windows identity for the default process identity. By default, this attribute is set to the Machine, and the process runs under a user account named ASPNET that is created automatically when ASP.NET is installed. The password for the ASPNET account is cryptographically generated at the time of installation. If valid credentials are presented in this attribute and the password attribute, the process is run with the given account.

This should allow you to run the site under different credentials from the logged in user.
