CreateProcessAsUser

How do I get the hToken needed for CreateProcessAsUser? I have a DLL that is loaded runs from the context of user1 and then from user2. From user2, I want to create a process as user1.

From MSDN:

BOOL WINAPI CreateProcessAsUser(
  __in_opt     HANDLE hToken,
  __in_opt     LPCTSTR lpApplicationName,
  __inout_opt  LPTSTR lpCommandLine,
  __in_opt     LPSECURITY_ATTRIBUTES lpProcessAttributes,
  __in_opt     LPSECURITY_ATTRIBUTES lpThreadAttributes,
  __in         BOOL bInheritHandles,
  __in         DWORD dwCreationFlags,
  __in_opt     LPVOID lpEnvironment,
  __in_opt     LPCTSTR lpCurrentDirectory,
  __in         LPSTARTUPINFO lpStartupInfo,
  __out        LPPROCESS_INFORMATION lpProcessInformation
);

What I want to do is something like this:

1. user1 process loads my DLL
2. my DLL gets the current process hToken (???this is the part i don't get???)
3. my DLL stores that in a txt file.
4. user1 process closes

5. user2 process starts and loads my DLL
6. my DLL reads all the needed data from txt file
7. my DLL starts a process as user1.

user2 process is always guaranteed to run only *after* user1 process. They don't run simultaneously.

LogonUser() function can be used to get the token.

I don't have the password for the user, which LogonUser requires.

In that case you can enumerate all processes to find out the PID for explorer.exe

Use OpenProcess() API to get process handle for explorer.

Use OpenProcessToken() API to get the token handle for explorer.exe.

Use the this token handle in the CreateProcessAsUser() API.

It would work because explorer.exe runs in the logged-in user's account.

That might work, but it's inherently an unstable solution, mostly because user1 might be or not be the same user as explorer.exe. It's not guaranteed to be the logged on user. It's just whichever process loaded my DLL first.

Wouldn't it be better to use GetCurrentProcess() instead, while my DLL is loaded in user1 process, and then use OpenProcessToken?

Yes, it seems GetCurrentProcess() would be a good try.

Hi,

I have an MFC unicode application which needs to access a database which is UTF-8 encoded. Iam accessing the database through direct query excution using ExecuteSQL function.ExecuteSQL functions expects an LPCTSTR which will be be LPCWSTR under _UNICODE , so i need to format the query as UTF-16 and pass to the ExecuteSQL right?, but the DB is UTF-8 encoded.I need to know whether this will cause any problems.?

Thanks

i am doing an word automation application in vc++. Here i need to create tables, which i have done. Now i need to set the borders for the tables. the tables that are created does not have borders by default.

i did some R&D and created gridlines. But that is not what i wanted. I wanted borders for the tables. Please give me some leads on this

Please see this automation code (VB) this will give a hint

.Borders(wdBorderTop)
        .LineStyle = Options.DefaultBorderLineStyle
        .LineWidth = Options.DefaultBorderLineWidth
        .Color = Options.DefaultBorderColor

Shows that you should select the Borders collection of particular table and then set the LineStyle and LineWidth values/properties.

Also be sure that Borders.Enabled is true.

You could use CInternetFile's Open and Read method to write the file yourself, giving you the ability to easily calculate the progress.

Also try using CInternetSession::OnStatusCallback[^] for status updates.

I tried Also Open and Read method but this is synchronous but I want asynchronous. so I use CFtpConnection. I also tried OnStatusCallback but I am not getting how I use this callback function.Pls help somithing for using this callback function.

typedef void (*function1_ptr) ();
function1_ptr function1=NULL;

int APIENTRY WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance,
                     HINSTANCE hPrevInstance,
                     LPSTR     lpCmdLine,
                     int       nCmdShow)
{
 	

    HMODULE myDll = LoadLibrary("myfile.dll"); 

    if(myDll)
	{  
		function1 = (function1_ptr) GetProcAddress(myDll,"function1");  

		if(function1)  
			function1();

		FreeLibrary(myDll);
    }

	return 0;
}

i have copied my dll in debug folder, but control is not going inside if statement...

how should i do it....

can anybody please help me...

Try giving full path in LoadLibrary.
HMODULE myDll = LoadLibrary("myfile.dll");
to something like
HMODULE myDll = LoadLibrary("C:\\Myproject\\debug\\myfile.dll");

GetProcAddress(myDll,"function1");
maybe the 2nd parameter is the key.
you could use "dumpbin /exports myfile.dll" to check the exported functions' name.

then,give the right name string.

i think your dll should include .def file

Which one ? The one after the call to LoadLibrary or the one after the call to GetProcAddress ? If this is the second call, make sure that you have provided a module defintion file (.def file) as explained in the documentation[^]
