Don't think that makes any difference. Example of impersonating a user in ASP here : http://support.microsoft.com/kb/248187. It's VB6 but you could do that same thing with C# and COM. But you can't, of course, use the web.config approach.

If you have access to the server and can change the relevant application pool account that's obviously the simplest solution.....

UPDATE : Here's a C# version of the above impersonation : http://p2p.wrox.com/classic-asp-basics/77007-solution-impersonation-classic-asp.html
