int _NutValidatePassword(const char *user,
const char *password);
The _NutValidatePassword() function verifies a password
for a user.
The password is verified against the SAM database.
If user is logged on locally,
_NutValidatePassword() only looks at the local SAM database.
If user is logged on to a domain, the NuTCRACKER Platform first looks in the
local SAM database.
If the user does not exist or the password is invalid, the NuTCRACKER Platform queries
the domain SAM database.
- Note:
-
Passwords are case-sensitive. User names are not case-sensitive.
- user
-
Specifies a user name (up to 21 characters, including the terminating null
character).
- password
-
Specifies the password.
If verification is successful, the _NutValidatePassword()
function returns TRUE.
If the password is invalid, it returns FALSE.
If a system error occurs, _NutValidatePassword()
sets errno to:
- EINVAL
-
The user or password does not exist in either database.
