Talk:UAC plug-in

Awesome stuff. Used and approved.

In a domain-based network it is important to provide credentials with standart "user\domain" form (as it is displayed into runas dialog and many other places in system). Unfortunally used function CreateProcessWithLogonW() uses different form of this - "user@domain" :( So...we need a to deal with this and provide onthefly conversion. I suggest add this pice of code immediately before CreateProcessWithLogonW call (RunAs.cpp):

if(swscanf(wszUName, L"%s\\%s", wszDomain, wszUser) > 1) {

wcscpy(wszUName, wszUser);
wcscat(wszUName, L"@");
wcscat(wszUName, wszDomain);

}

...and #include <wchar.h>

--Anders 01:11, 25 September 2007 (PDT) RunAs.cpp is only used if the user is non admin,running on Vista with UAC off (And it is only there since the built in RunAs seems to be broken) I don't have a domain to test on, but I will try to look into this

--Anders 02:04, 25 September 2007 (PDT) Is "\\machine\user" a legal credentials form? what about "\\domain\user"? Please try test build @ http://rapidshare.com/files/58108814/UAC_v0.0.6c_TestBuild.zip.html and report back

Anders 16:26, 13 October 2007 (PDT) Fix now added to new build (v0.0.6c), old version can be found @ http://stashbox.org/43690/UAC%20v0.0.6b.zip

new UAC build works very good in 'domain networks' enviroment! Thank you very much for developing!

I found interesting new thing...How about members of 'Power users' group ? According to MSDN documentation - members of this group have many available actions... for example register COM and ActiveX objects (regsvr32.exe my.dll ....), complete write access to 'programm files' directory... I think not all installers required *strictly* admin privelegues...

Maybe function who test for 'administrators' privelegue can test for 'power users' and indicate its presence ?
