Connection string to connect to Database from Web Service

Frank__Q asked:

Open original thread
This is my connection string, which the web service (hosted in IIS) uses to connect to database

XML
<add name="AdventureWorksEntities"connectionString="metadata=.\AdventureWorks.csdl|.\AdventureWorks.ssdl|.\AdventureWorks.msl;
provider=System.Data.SqlClient;provider connection string='Data Source=TestMachine;Initial Catalog=AdventureWorks;
Integrated Security=True;Connection Timeout=60;multipleactiveresultsets=true'" providerName="System.Data.EntityClient" />


When I try to access the site I am getting an exception: Login Failed for user MyDomain\TestMachine$.

Why is IIS trying to use TestMachine to connect and not my user account (e.g MyDomain\TestUser) ? How do I specify it to use the context of the user that made the request ?

When answering a question please:
  1. Read the question carefully.
  2. Understand that English isn't everyone's first language so be lenient of bad spelling and grammar.
  3. If a question is poorly phrased then either ask for clarification, ignore it, or edit the question and fix the problem. Insults are not welcome.
  4. Don't tell someone to read the manual. Chances are they have and don't get it. Provide an answer or move on to the next question.
