I have used GetUserName() METHOD , but the username it returned is 'SYSTEM' in a SYSTEM process.How can I get the active username in a SYSTEM process? THIS IS MY CODE: void getComputerUsername(char * username,char * domainname) { HANDLE hp , htoken; char buff[1024]; unsigned long size = 1024; TOKEN_USER *tuser; PSID sid; TCHAR * user = new TCHAR[256]; TCHAR * domain=new TCHAR[256]; SID_NAME_USE snu; hp = htoken = INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE; hp = GetCurrentProcess(); if(OpenProcessToken(hp, TOKEN_QUERY, &htoken)) { if(GetTokenInformation(htoken, TokenUser, (void*)buff, size, &size)) { tuser = (TOKEN

I'd like to know how to select a single value from my MySQL table. The table includes columns username and id amongst others ( id is auto-increment and username is unique). Given the username, I want to set a session variable $_SESSION['myid'] equal to the value in the id column that corresponds to the given username. Here's the code that I've already tried: session_start(); $name = $_GET["username"]; $sql = "SELECT 'id' FROM Users WHERE username='$name'"; $result = mysql_query($sql); $value = mysql_fetch_object($result); $_SESSION['myid'] = $value; So far I'm getting: Catchable fatal error:

I'm having trouble figuring out how I can count the number of logged-in users in my application. What I have: When a user logs in, they get a session (which is used when the user wants to visit a protected page) and the IsLoggedIn column for the user in the users table is set to 1 to indicate that the user is logged in. When the user logs out, the value is set back to 0. Counting the number of 1s in the users table makes it easy to return the number of users logged-in. But... The Problem: If the user closes the browser without logging out, the value in the database stays 1, indicating that the

I'd like to have a report with all the local users and their relative groups (users, power users, administrators and so on. I get the users in this way: $adsi = [ADSI]"WinNT://." $adsi.psbase.children | where {$_.psbase.schemaClassName -match "user"} | select @{n="Name";e={$_.name}} but I don't know how to retrieve their groups. Thanks in advance. $adsi = [ADSI]"WinNT://$env:COMPUTERNAME" $adsi.Children | where {$_.SchemaClassName -eq 'user'} | Foreach-Object { $groups = $_.Groups() | Foreach-Object {$_.GetType().InvokeMember("Name", 'GetProperty', $null, $_, $null)} $_ | Select-Object @{n=

How can I get a list of Local Windows Users (Only the Users that appear in the windows Logon Screen) I have tried many methods using Windows Principle library & WMI Select commands. I keep getting Administrator, Guest & some other bizarre accounts (VUSRNEIL-DELL, $HOMEGROUPUSER, ASPNET...etc.) Neither of these 3 user accounts appear on the Logon screen. How can I Differentiate between these user types? I am coding in C# Leniel Maccaferri Just add a reference to System.Management in a Console Application and try this code: using System; using System.Management; using System.Linq; namespace

i have this code to create a local windows user public static bool CreateLocalWindowsAccount(string username, string password, string displayName, string description, bool canChangePwd, bool pwdExpires) { try { PrincipalContext context = new PrincipalContext(ContextType.Machine); UserPrincipal user = new UserPrincipal(context); user.SetPassword(password); user.DisplayName = displayName; user.Name = username; user.Description = description; user.UserCannotChangePassword = canChangePwd; user.PasswordNeverExpires = pwdExpires; user.Save(); //now add user to "Users" group so it displays in Control

There are some irreversible actions that user can do in my app. To add a level of security, I'd like to verify that the person performing such an action is actually the logged in user. How can I achieve it? For users with passwords, I'd like a prompt that would ask for entering user password again. How can I later verify this password, without sending it over the wire? Is a similar action possible for users logged via external service? If yes, how to achieve it? I can help with the first question. As of this writing, meteor doesn't have a checkPassword method, but here's how you can do it: On

The tool I develop needs to grant access rights "Full Control" to a file created by it. It needs to be read, modified and deleted from all windows accounts and even possible future accounts. Could this be achieved? I know I can try this for a SPECIFIC_USER: FileSystemAccessRule rule = new FileSystemAccessRule(SPECIFIC_USER, FileSystemRights.FullControl, AccessControlType.Allow); FileSecurity fSecurity = File.GetAccessControl(filePath); fSecurity.SetAccessRule(rule); File.SetAccessControl(filePath, fSecurity); But how do I grant it to all users? And even possible future accounts? If the latter
