InitializeSid
The InitializeSid
function initializes a SID
structure. An SID is a security identifier.
BOOL InitializeSid(
|
PSID Sid, |
// address of SID
to initialize |
|
PSID_IDENTIFIER_AUTHORITY pIdentifierAuthority, |
// address of
identifier authority |
|
BYTE nSubAuthorityCount |
// count of
subauthorities |
|
); |
|
Parameters
Sid
Points to a SID
structure to be initialized.
pIdentifierAuthority
Points to a SID_IDENTIFIER_AUTHORITY structure to set in the SID
structure.
nSubAuthorityCount
Specifies the
number of subauthorities to set in the SID. Values of the subauthority
must be set separately, as described in the following Remarks section.
Return Values
If the
function succeeds, the return value is nonzero.
If the
function fails, the return value is zero. To get extended error information,
call GetLastError.
Remarks
Although the InitializeSid
function sets the number of subauthorities for the SID, it does not set the subauthority
values. This must be done separately, using functions, such as GetSidSubAuthority.
An
application can use the AllocateAndInitializeSid function to initialize
a SID and set its subauthority values.
