 Posted: Fri Jan 04, 2008 9:04 am Post subject: Suggestion $System.Process & $System.Security.SecureStri |
 |
|
Since KiXforms .Net utilizes .Net 2.0 I thought I'd bring up this old suggestion again 
And to show what this would do I'll demonstrate some code:
| Code: |
Dim $Process, $PassWord, $i
$Process = $System.Process
$Process.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = 0
$Process.StartInfo.WorkingDirectory = "C:\"
$Process.StartInfo.FileName = "C:\test.exe"
$Process.StartInfo.Arguments = "--test"
$Process.StartInfo.Domain = @LDOMAIN
$Process.StartInfo.UserName = "Administrator"
$Password = $System.Security.SecureString
For $i = 1 To LEN("password")
$Password.AppendChar(SubStr("password",$i,1))
Next
$Process.StartInfo.Password = $Password
$Process.Start

Sets the $Password variable to a System.Security.SecureString.
Not quite sure what you're asking me here.
$System.Process only accept passwords build up by a SecureString

I couldn't find $System.Security.SecureString in KiXforms.NET chm, but thanks for the link.
So with the code in your first post. We can use it to execute processes remotely? Does this include executables with interfaces? This kind of acts like psexec.exe? |

No you can't find it in the chm as the topic says, I suggest implementing this into KiXforms .Net as it is standard in the .Net Framework v2.0 and up. And yes this way you can launch any kind of executable, it will act like runas.exe or psexec.exe runNas

| I've had problems with psexec.exe where some .NET/C++ applications would not start properly. Hopefully this will resolve the issue! |

Just by way of update. Support for this has been added to kf.net. Now the bad news - it doesn't work. It works when included into a stand-alone exe, but when implemented in a DLL (like kf.net is), some kind of security kicks in - and one gets access denied.
Will be researching - apronk (all), you able to find any knowledge on the web about this ... i'm going to start looking soon |

I should start taking a look on how to make dll's myself with VB .Net, see if I can reproduce the problem. Got any tips ?
