Hi Jennifer.

Have a look at the thread starting from the following post:

http://forum.strataframe.net/FindPost6284.aspx

Hello,

I am wondering how I can get the password of a user or how I can determine if a user is administrator.

Since I need check a user's permission, but the program is a Dll and called by another program, so the security login has been bypassed. The user's ID is passed from the other program, i.e. UserID is known. Now I need to check this user's permission to set up my form controls.

I have programed to check SFSUserXPermission and SFSRolesXPermission, but if this user is an administrator, the role is not in table SFSRolesXPermission. My question is how I can get if this user is an administrator or not. I guess the info is in table SFSUsers.us_Data, but how can I get it?

Or, how I can get the password of the user? If I have the password, I can use Login.AuthenticateUser(UserName, Password, "", loUserInfo) to login this user, and then check the currentUser's permission.

Thanks,

Hi

Trent, hope yoo take a look, I really need to access with the admin integrated acccount to the security editor, I can log in with the admin and enter to every form of the application but not to the security editor.

The three users of the application not have access to the security editor, because I'm working on the application and the times I need to modify security I do it with the integrated admin account.

As far as I can understand the problem seems to be related to decrypt, because as I posted before the error goes in that part of the code.

Wainting for your answer.

Hi

Can you tell me how to do that?

Thanks

Got it.

I think we could try adding your SFS tables into your DDT project again. If the structures have changed, it will bring the updated ones, and then you could deploy it back to the client. This would make sure that you have the uptodate structures for your securtity tables.

Hi again

Thinking, the DDT package yes, but the new structures? I don't know which are does structures?

I don't have indications to compare what is missing.

Hi

Yes, as I'm developing the application, I add several tables and update the database with DDT.

Good.

Just thinking, have you tried refreshing your DDT package with the new structures and re-deploying it into the client, if that is the case?

Hi

yes I did. Every installation I let the installer modify the tables.

Hi Juan.

I think that what Trent meant is if you let your StrataFrame database structures to be changed the time you installed the last version of the framework. This is important since there has been some changes in its structures.
