UserMgr thread on NSIS Discussion forum

Description

I needed to create a user account in my installer, running a service with restricted rights is something we all should try to do whenever possible.

In order to get this functionality, I used the UserInfo plugin as a starter and created a number of functions dealing with user accounts, privileges and groups.

"'Please note: This plugin and its functions are only useful for Windows NT/2K/XP target systems."'
You should check the type of system in your installer script before trying to call one of the functions of this DLL. I did not test what happens when someone tries to use UserMgr on a Win95/Win98 system.

As I am currently the only one using this, I consider it in beta state and appreciate any comments and feedback, e.g. "Yes, it runs on Winxyz" or "No, no chance on Win87 etc. etc.).

You can reach me via PM, my forum account is hgerstung, so do not hesitate to contact me if you are experiencing difficulties.

Please note: NSIS v2.42 or higher is required for this plugin to run properly.

Known Issues

Windows 9x support
Untested on Windows 9x; structure is different, so probably not going to work.
Windows NT4 support
Plug-in does not work because ConvertSidToStringSid and ConvertStringSidToSid are unavailable!

Any help in resolving these issues (submitting a patch, etc) is appreciated.


Plugin Command Reference

Here's a list of functions the DLL exports including the necessary parameters.

UserMgr::CreateAccount "USERID" "PASSWORD" "COMMENT"

BEWARE
If ACCESSMASK is empty, all of the the users access rights will be removed! This is used to delete an access list entry from a registry key.
example:
 UserMgr::SetRegKeyAccess "myuser" "HKLM" "SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Blabla" "=a"
grants full access for "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Blabla" to user "myuser"
UserMgr::ValidatePassword "PASSWORD" "DOMAIN"

NERR_PasswordTooShort (2245) will sometimes be thrown if the password matches or contains the username. This can not be checked beforehand with this function as there is no username given.

Incomplete List of Account Privileges

This list was taken from a web site and surely is not complete. You may have to ask Google or whoever to find out about certain privileges.

"'Side note:"' On my machine I needed to "grant" a user the SeDenyInteractiveLogonRight to deny the account to log in interactively - although it did not possess the SeInteractiveLogonRight privilege and was not a a member of any group. This is the same with SeDenyBatchLogonRight, SeDenyNetworkLogonRight and SeDenyServiceLogonRight. You can clearly see that the "i" in Micro$oft stands for "inconsistency" :-)
