RunAsSet user verification

[gleem]

I have been searching through the forums for a way to do verify the RunAsSet command with an If then Statement.

for example... as I understand it.. normally, you would use

RunAsSet("username","domain","password",2)

Run("C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe")

this would cause iexplorer.exe to run with the RunAsSet user account.

however, if the user enters the password wrong and/or user name, the script still runs.

what I would like to do is

verify that domain user account and password is correct.

If correct, it runs the script. if not, is exit's.

I am sure this questions pertains more to an AD type verification but I am not sure how to do so.

You would have to understand the authentication protocol to validate information. AutoIt is great, but I'm not sure if it should be validating passwords or anything like that. I could see that blowing into a brute force user password cracker.

Can't you use the @error flag in this script?

RunAsSet("username","domain","password",2)
If @error Then Exit
Run("C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe")

????

Did you test that because it doesn't work like that..

You need to test the Run/RunWait for an @Error because at that time the process is shelled with the newly set credentials .

It's easy. You just run some cmd command like this:

runasset(some credentials)

runwait("cmd.exe /c time /t","",@SW_HIDE)

$res1=@error

if $res1 == 0 then ;credentials OK
