Create Windows Logins using C/SIDE

zaloo78

Hey,

I was wondering if anyone of you guys know if it is possible to create windows logins using code (C/SIDE). Instead of going in a manually add user using the Security -> Windows Logins form.

klavin

Make a lookup on Windows Object table for the user, when you get it take the SID and create a variable for Windows Login table...

WindowsLogin.INIT;
WindowsLogin.SID := WindowsObject.SID;
WindowsLogin.INSERT;

Neat..

Alternatively I guess you could (manually) add an AD security user group, I you want to easily manage multiple Windows logins with the same credentials...

klavin

Really, you could do the same. The lookup will show both unless you filter for WindowsObject.Type as group. I would imagine this would be very slow, but these have SID's as well where the above would insert it also. Either way you would have to know the SID so I would assume there would be *some* user interaction so why not just go to the appropriate areas.

When I was at an end-user company (actually on my way out) I made a New User Checklist form for them that would create the SQL user, Windows Login, copy permissions or set manually copy user setups, create/copy menus etc by clicking buttons. They just had to lookup who they wanted to add. This just centralized adding users so no one had to

I guess I'm split on just using he forms and making it so any repetitive task done easier...
