printing a sid

[Spiritofamerica]

I have a question: supposing I call the LookupAccountSid(NULL, ptiUser->User.Sid, szUser, pcchUser,szDomain, pcchDomain, &snu)) and I get the sid how can I print this sid?

[Jose Lamas Rios]

In LookupAccountSid, the SID is an input parameter and what you get is user and domain names as character strings... -- jlr http://jlamas.blogspot.com/[^]

yes you are right but anyway I have the sid I just want to print it how do I do that ?

straight from MSDN: ConvertSidToStringSid james

LPSTR * StringSid; ConvertSidToStringSid(ptiUser->User.Sid,StringSid); this gets me the run-time error " the variable StringSid is being used withouth having been initialized so I try to initialize it: LPSTR toader=new char[1024];strcpy(toader," "); LPSTR * StringSid=&toader; but this gets me a error also about access memory violation what is the good way of doing this?

[James Brown]

You're not calling it quite right. ConvertSidToSidString(sid, &string); you must pass a *pointer* to a pointer, not just the address of the string. The function then modifies this pointer and returns the string this way. james
