The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

LsaAddAccountRights: How to marshal SID_IDENTIFIER_AUTHORITY

Asked by cocojohn in C# Programming Language

Tags: lsaaddaccountrights

Hi Experts,

does anybody know how to use LsaAddAccountRights in C# ?

This is my declaration:

[System.Runtime.InteropServices.DllImport("advapi32.dll")]
private static extern long LsaAddAccountRights(
  IntPtr PolicyHandle,
  IntPtr AccountSid,
  LSA_UNICODE_STRING UserRights,
  long CountOfRights );

The function requires a SID buffer, so I also have to declare AllocateAndInitializeSid and LookupAccountName...

private static extern bool AllocateAndInitializeSid(
 SID_IDENTIFIER_AUTHORITY pIdentifierAuthority,
 int nSubAuthorityCount,
 long dwSubAuthority0, long dwSubAuthority1,
 long dwSubAuthority2, long dwSubAuthority3,
 long dwSubAuthority4, long dwSubAuthority5,
 long dwSubAuthority6, long dwSubAuthority7,
 out IntPtr pSid );

[System.Runtime.InteropServices.DllImport("advapi32.dll")]
private static extern bool LookupAccountName(
 String lpSystemName,
 String lpAccountName,
 IntPtr Sid,
 ref int cbSid,
 String DomainName,
 ref int cbDomainNameSize,
 IntPtr peUse);

...and SID_IDENTIFIER_AUTHORITY:

[StructLayoutAttribute(LayoutKind.Auto)]
class SID_IDENTIFIER_AUTHORITY {
 [MarshalAsAttribute(UnmanagedType.LPArray)]
 public byte[] Value;
}


At runtime AllocateAndInitializeSid throws an exception:
"System.Runtime.InteropServices.MarshalDirectiveException: parameter #1 cannot be marshalled:
The type Definition contains no layout informationen."

So I have changed the StructLayot-Attribute:

[StructLayoutAttribute(LayoutKind.Sequential)]
class SID_IDENTIFIER_AUTHORITY {
 [MarshalAsAttribute(UnmanagedType.LPArray)]
 public byte[] Value;
}

With that declaration AllocateAndInitializeSid throws a different exception:
"System.TypeLoadException: Field Value in type in type SID_IDENTIFIER_AUTHORITY cannot be marshalled:
This type cannot be marshalled as a structure field."


What's wrong with my declaration?
I can't find a readable example, so every hint would be very great!

greets,
coco
