Create NT Accounts in Delphi CGI App

I downloaded the API files for Lan Manager (from delphi-jedi.org) to try to find the calls to create NT Server logins from Delphi ver 4 or 5. The APIs are very long and confusing.

My goal is simple, build a web based secutity system that uses the NT login. That way, I can programmatically assign logins to groups of users with certain access rights.

I would need the calls to:
Create Login
Delete Login
Modify Login Password
Assign Group
Get Login Username
Get Login Groups.

Does anyone out there have an idea how to do this?

I will also accept links to point me in the direction of real world security layouts for web-sites that aren't all hype and talk.

Sincery,

THANK YOU!!!

I will convert some of the spanish to english to make sure I understand it. I can probalby do that tomorrow. If I get it to work (even a little), then you got the points.

Thanks,

Thank you. I can now add/delete, modify passwords, add users to groups and remove them from groups.

I wrote my own unit (in english) that is very similar to the one above, with the additional function calls and an expanded set of constants.

I now just have to figure out the whole security layout for my appserver.

Thanks again.

I ttok 3 years of Spanish in high school and could only remember some of the stuff the Taco bell dog says.

Once I saw the API calls, I knew where to go. Now, all I have to do is figure out the Server Part. (I am getting the "Not Primary" error.) I didn't want to add the users to our entire domaine. I was hoping that I could add them to just the one running the Internet Server. I am not so good on the NT Security Stuff.

I think I have to create a new domain and make that new domain have it's own name service. My network guy is supposed to figure it out, but he's backed up with a lot of other stuff.

Thanks.

Portuguese is quite similar to Spanish. I can understand it perfectly, though I cannot really speak it.

I tested this code creating accounts in the current domain, supplying the server name. I don’t know about creating accounts in a standalone server, though setting up another domain sounds fine to me. I can actually see some advantages in doing it, like if you end up needing more than one web server.

Bye.
