LSA_GET_CREDENTIALS callback function (ntsecpkg.h)

Retrieves credentials associated with a logon session.

This function is not used by newer authentication packages, such as Kerberos.

Syntax

LSA_GET_CREDENTIALS LsaGetCredentials;

NTSTATUS LsaGetCredentials(
  [in]      PLUID LogonId,
  [in]      ULONG AuthenticationPackage,
  [in, out] PULONG QueryContext,
  [in]      BOOLEAN RetrieveAllCredentials,
  [in, out] PLSA_STRING PrimaryKeyValue,
  [out]     PULONG PrimaryKeyLength,
  [out]     PLSA_STRING Credentials
)
{...}

Parameters

[in] LogonId

Pointer to an LUID structure containing the session ID of the logon session from which credentials are to be retrieved.

[in] AuthenticationPackage

Authentication package ID of the calling authentication package. Authentication packages should retrieve only their own credentials.

[in, out] QueryContext

Pointer to an unsigned LONG value used across successive calls to retrieve multiple credentials. The first time this function is used, the value pointed to by this argument should be zero. Thereafter, this value will be updated to allow retrieval to continue where it left off. This value should, therefore, not be changed until all credentials of a given query operation have been retrieved.

[in] RetrieveAllCredentials

Indicates whether all credentials for the specified logon session should be retrieved (TRUE), or only those matching the specified PrimaryKeyValue (FALSE).

[in, out] PrimaryKeyValue

This parameter serves two purposes. If the RetrieveAllCredentials parameter is FALSE, this string contains the value to use as a primary lookup key. In this case, only credentials belonging to the correct logon session with a primary lookup key matching this value will be retrieved.

If RetrieveAllCredentials is TRUE, the value of this string on input is ignored and the primary lookup key of each credential retrieved is returned in this string.

[out] PrimaryKeyLength

If the RetrieveAllCredentials parameter is TRUE, this parameter receives the length needed to store the PrimaryKeyValue string.

[out] Credentials

Pointer to a buffer that receives the retrieved credential. Only one credential is retrieved for each call made. The credential is returned in a buffer that the function allocates by calling the AllocateLsaHeap function. It is the caller's responsibility to free the Credentials buffer when it is no longer needed, by calling FreeLsaHeap.

Return value

If the function succeeds, the function returns the NTSTATUS code, STATUS_SUCCESS, indicating that the credentials were successfully retrieved.

If the function fails, the return value is an NTSTATUS code, which can be one of the following values or one of the LSA Policy Function Return Values.

Return code Description
ERROR_GEN_FAILURE
No more credentials are available. If this code is returned on the first call, there are no credentials matching the selection criteria.
STATUS_MORE_ENTRIES
The string provided to receive the PrimaryKeyValue was not large enough to hold the data. In this case, no data is retrieved, and the QueryContext value is not modified. This allows the same call to be made again with a larger string buffer.
STATUS_NO_SUCH_LOGON_SESSION
The specified logon session could not be found.
 

The LsaNtStatusToWinError function converts an NTSTATUS code to a Windows error code.
