Question
I'm not a C++ developer, so I guess it's just my fault that my program doesn't work. I want to look up the SID for a windows group and return a readable SID.
wchar_t* SpcLookupName(LPCTSTR lpszSystemName, LPCTSTR lpszAccountName) {
PSID Sid;
DWORD cbReferencedDomainName, cbSid;
LPTSTR ReferencedDomainName;
SID_NAME_USE eUse;
cbReferencedDomainName = cbSid = 0;
if (LookupAccountName(lpszSystemName, lpszAccountName, 0, &cbSid,
0, &cbReferencedDomainName, &eUse)) {
SetLastError(ERROR_NONE_MAPPED);
return 0;
}
if (GetLastError( ) != ERROR_INSUFFICIENT_BUFFER) return 0;
if (!(Sid = (PSID)LocalAlloc(LMEM_FIXED, cbSid))) return 0;
ReferencedDomainName = (LPTSTR)LocalAlloc(LMEM_FIXED, cbReferencedDomainName);
if (!ReferencedDomainName) {
LocalFree(Sid);
return 0;
}
if (!LookupAccountName(lpszSystemName, lpszAccountName, Sid, &cbSid,
ReferencedDomainName, &cbReferencedDomainName, &eUse)) {
LocalFree(ReferencedDomainName);
LocalFree(Sid);
return 0;
}
wchar_t* psz;
// Loading ConvertSidToStringSid
typedef BOOL (WINAPI *tConvertSidToStringSid)(PSID,wchar_t*);
tConvertSidToStringSid pConvertSidToStringSid=0;
HINSTANCE handle = ::LoadLibrary("Advapi32.dll");
pConvertSidToStringSid = (tConvertSidToStringSid) ::GetProcAddress(handle, "ConvertSidToStringSidA");
if(pConvertSidToStringSid(Sid, psz)){
return psz;
}
}
My problem is that the function returns only some strange characters and not the SID, why?
