Kerberos & vbNullString

[Paulchen]

Who can I set lpszUserName and lpszPassword set to NULL

vbsample

Set objDSO = GetObject("LDAP:")

strPathToComputer = GetStrPathToComputer(strComputerName)

WScript.Echo "Accessing object: " + strPathToComputer

Const ADS_SECURE_AUTHENTICATION = 1

Const ADS_USE_SEALING = 64 '0x40

Const ADS_USE_SIGNING = 128 '0x80

Set objFveInfos = objDSO.OpenDSObject(strPathToComputer, vbNullString, vbNullString, _

ADS_SECURE_AUTHENTICATION + ADS_USE_SEALING + ADS_USE_SIGNING)

On AutoIt i use Default in place of vbNullString but I get a COM error "parameter not optional"

$objFveInfos = $objDSO.OpenDSObject($Computer_FQDN,Default ,Default, $ADS_SECURE_AUTHENTICATION + $ADS_USE_SEALING + $ADS_USE_SIGNING)

more info over IADsOpenDSObject on http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa706065(VS.85).aspx

...

The IADsOpenDSObject method uses the default credentials when lpszUserName and lpszPassword are set to NULL.

How bout "" (blank) or Chr(0)?

I think I saw somewhere else that you could try this -

$null = Default

Then use $null in your function.

You could also try this (found the post I was looking for) -

Local $oVBS = ObjCreate("ScriptControl")
$oVBS.language = "VBScript"
Global Const $NULL = $oVBS.eval("vbNullString")
$oVBS = 0

Use $NULL in your function.

Thanks that works, but it's a pity that AutoIT not support a build in function.

I really don't understand that point of view. I really think it is pretty cool that AutoIt allows you to set a variable to a special value from another language like that and then use it natively. It's simple and it's fast, what else do you need?
