Dial-up-ing from a service...

OSR_Community_UserOSR_Community_User Member Posts: 110,217

I have a strange problem using dial-up in my program...
It runs as a service (system account) under WinNT & 2000.

I use RasGetCredentials to get username/password/domain data for a specified
phonebook entry:

RasGetCredentials(SYSTEM_PHONEBOOK, szPhoneBookEntry, &rasCredentials);

SYSTEM_PHONEBOOK is a #defined path to the system phonebook (hardcoded for
testing purposes :)

Now, the strange thing... If I run the program as a "normal" app (under my
acc, admin) it runs fine. If I start it as a service, RasGetCredentials
returns no error, but username and password fields are empty!

Another quick question... How do I access system phonebook under Win2000?

Any help would be greatly appreciated...

    Try impersonating some user before calling RAS API. This should help, at
    least it helped me when I called other than RasGetCredentials(...) RAS API
    functions.
