Hmmm. Please let me know how it works out. I've done some messing around with the NetUserChangePassword function to validate the user against a PDC. That works too. Whatever. I'll keep kicking around here. -----Original Message----- From: Ian Blenke To: 'Chris McDonough'; 'Toby Dickenson '; Ian Blenke Cc: 'zope@zope.org ' Sent: 10/20/99 5:10 PM Subject: RE: [Zope] NT User Folder - No Domain support?

Hmmm... I dont think this method is going to work. The win32security.LogonUser function doesn't allow you to authenticate to a remote computer. From the docs:

--- begin docs ---

win32security.LogonUser

PyHANDLE = LogonUser( userName, domain , password , logonType , logonProvider ) Attempts to log a user on to the local computer, that is, to the computer from which LogonUser was called. You cannot use LogonUser to log on to a remote computer.

Actually, I think Toby is right - you should be able to authenticate against a domain using this. Using a DC as the "domain" operand shouldn't work if this statement is true, but using a domain name that this local machine belongs to should allow things to work. We are trying to login to the local machine, only within a particular domain. - Ian C. Blenke <icblenke@2c2.com> <ian@blenke.com>
