Can PowerShell Inside be used with identity impersonation?

Applies to: PowerShell ASP, PowerShell Panel, PowerShell Web Part

When you execute a PowerShell pipeline, internally a runspace creates a secondary thread to execute it which does not inherit the credentials of the ASP.NET Thread.

According to this MSDN post ( blogs.msdn.com/powershell/archive/2007/09/10/impersonation-and-hosting-powershell.aspx):

"you can configure ASP.Net to flow the impersonation token to newly created threads by using 'alwaysFlowImpersonationPolicy' and 'legacyImpersonationPolicy' configuration elements in aspnet.config file".
Do PowerShell Inside products work with PowerShell V2?

Applies to: All

Yes. All PowerShellInside products work with PowerShell v2 as well as PowerShell v1. PowerShell V2 features like try/catch and cmdlet functions are all acceptable for use with PowerShellInside.
