For an introduction to the access control model in Windows, see Access Control in the Windows SDK.

Requirements

Header: atlsecurity.h

CAccessToken::Attach

Call this method to take ownership of the given access token handle.

void Attach(HANDLE hToken) throw();

Parameters

hToken
A handle to the access token.

Remarks

In debug builds, an assertion error will occur if the CAccessToken object already has ownership of an access token.

CAccessToken::~CAccessToken

The destructor.

virtual ~CAccessToken() throw();

Remarks

Frees all allocated resources.

CAccessToken::CheckTokenMembership

Call this method to determine if a specified SID is enabled in the CAccessToken object.

bool CheckTokenMembership(
    const CSid& rSid, 
    bool* pbIsMember) const throw(...);

Parameters

rSid
Reference to a CSid Class object.

pbIsMember
Pointer to a variable that receives the results of the check.

Return Value

Returns true on success, false on failure.

Remarks

The CheckTokenMembership method checks for the presence of the SID in the user and group SIDs of the access token. If the SID is present and has the SE_GROUP_ENABLED attribute, pbIsMember is set to true; otherwise, it is set to false.

In debug builds, an assertion error will occur if pbIsMember is not a valid pointer.

Note

The CAccessToken object must be an impersonation token and not a primary token.

CAccessToken::CreateImpersonationToken

Call this method to create an impersonation access token.

bool CreateImpersonationToken(
    CAccessToken* pImp, 
    SECURITY_IMPERSONATION_LEVEL sil = SecurityImpersonation) const throw(...);

Parameters

pImp
Pointer to the new CAccessToken object.

sil
Specifies a SECURITY_IMPERSONATION_LEVEL enumerated type that supplies the impersonation level of the new token.

Return Value

Returns true on success, false on failure.

Remarks

CreateImpersonationToken calls DuplicateToken to create a new impersonation token.

CAccessToken::CreatePrimaryToken

Call this method to create a new primary token.

bool CreatePrimaryToken(
    CAccessToken* pPri,
    DWORD dwDesiredAccess = MAXIMUM_ALLOWED,
    const CSecurityAttributes* pTokenAttributes = NULL) const throw(...);

Parameters

pPri
Pointer to the new CAccessToken object.

dwDesiredAccess
Specifies the requested access rights for the new token. The default, MAXIMUM_ALLOWED, requests all access rights that are valid for the caller. See Access Rights and Access Masks for more on access rights.

pTokenAttributes
Pointer to a SECURITY_ATTRIBUTES structure that specifies a security descriptor for the new token and determines whether child processes can inherit the token. If pTokenAttributes is NULL, the token gets a default security descriptor and the handle cannot be inherited.

Return Value

Returns true on success, false on failure.

Remarks

CreatePrimaryToken calls DuplicateTokenEx to create a new primary token.

CAccessToken::CreateProcessAsUser

Call this method to create a new process running in the security context of the user represented by the CAccessToken object.

bool CreateProcessAsUser(
    LPCTSTR pApplicationName,
    LPTSTR pCommandLine,
    LPPROCESS_INFORMATION pProcessInformation,
    LPSTARTUPINFO pStartupInfo,
    DWORD dwCreationFlags = NORMAL_PRIORITY_CLASS,
    bool bLoadProfile = false,
    const CSecurityAttributes* pProcessAttributes = NULL,
    const CSecurityAttributes* pThreadAttributes = NULL,
    bool bInherit = false,
    LPCTSTR pCurrentDirectory = NULL) throw();

Parameters

pApplicationName
Pointer to a null-terminated string that specifies the module to execute. This parameter may not be NULL.

pCommandLine
Pointer to a null-terminated string that specifies the command line to execute.

pProcessInformation
Pointer to a PROCESS_INFORMATION structure that receives identification information about the new process.

pStartupInfo
Pointer to a STARTUPINFO structure that specifies how the main window for the new process should appear.

dwCreationFlags
Specifies additional flags that control the priority class and the creation of the process. See the Win32 function CreateProcessAsUser for a list of flags.

bLoadProfile
If true, the user's profile is loaded with LoadUserProfile.

pProcessAttributes
Pointer to a SECURITY_ATTRIBUTES structure that specifies a security descriptor for the new process and determines whether child processes can inherit the returned handle. If pProcessAttributes is NULL, the process gets a default security descriptor and the handle cannot be inherited.

pThreadAttributes
Pointer to a SECURITY_ATTRIBUTES structure that specifies a security descriptor for the new thread and determines whether child processes can inherit the returned handle. If pThreadAttributes is NULL, the thread gets a default security descriptor and the handle cannot be inherited.

bInherit
Indicates whether the new process inherits handles from the calling process. If true, each inheritable open handle in the calling process is inherited by the new process. Inherited handles have the same value and access privileges as the original handles.

pCurrentDirectory
Pointer to a null-terminated string that specifies the current drive and directory for the new process. The string must be a full path that includes a drive letter. If this parameter is NULL, the new process will have the same current drive and directory as the calling process.

Return Value

Returns true on success, false on failure.

Remarks

CreateProcessAsUser uses the CreateProcessAsUser Win32 function to create a new process that runs in the security context of the user represented by the CAccessToken object. See the description of the CreateProcessAsUser function for a full discussion of the parameters required.

For this method to succeed, the CAccessToken object must hold AssignPrimaryToken (unless it is a restricted token) and IncreaseQuota privileges.

Remarks

CreateRestrictedToken uses the CreateRestrictedToken Win32 function to create a new CAccessToken object, with restrictions.

Note

This method is only available on Windows 2000 or later.

Important

When using CreateRestrictedToken, ensure the following: the existing token is valid (and not entered by the user) and SidsToDisable and PrivilegesToDelete are both valid (and not entered by the user). If the method returns false, deny functionality.

Return Value

Returns true on success, false on failure.

Remarks

In debug builds, an assertion error will occur if CAccessToken does not have a valid pointer to a token.

The CAutoRevertImpersonation class can be used to automatically revert impersonated access tokens.

CAccessToken::ImpersonateLoggedOnUser

Call this method to allow the calling thread to impersonate the security context of a logged-on user.

bool ImpersonateLoggedOnUser() const throw(...);

Return Value

Returns true on success, false on failure.

Remarks

Important

If a call to an impersonation function fails for any reason, the client is not impersonated and the client request is made in the security context of the process from which the call was made. If the process is running as a highly privileged account, or as a member of an administrative group, the user might be able to perform actions he or she would otherwise be disallowed. Therefore, the return value for this function should always be confirmed.

Returns true if the object contains a list of restricting SIDs, false if there are no restricting SIDs or if the method fails.

CAccessToken::LoadUserProfile

Call this method to load the user profile associated with the CAccessToken object.

bool LoadUserProfile() throw(...);

Return Value

Returns true on success, false on failure.

Remarks

In debug builds, an assertion error will occur if the CAccessToken does not contain a valid token, or if a user profile already exists.

CAccessToken::LogonUser

Call this method to create a logon session for the user associated with the given credentials.

bool LogonUser(
    LPCTSTR pszUserName,
    LPCTSTR pszDomain,

Specifies the type of logon operation to perform. See LogonUser for more details.

dwLogonProvider
Specifies the logon provider. See LogonUser for more details.

Return Value

Returns true on success, false on failure.

Remarks

The access token resulting from the logon will be associated with the CAccessToken. For this method to succeed, the CAccessToken object must hold SE_TCB_NAME privileges, identifying the holder as part of the trusted computer base. See LogonUser for more information regarding the privileges required.

CAccessToken::OpenCOMClientToken

Call this method from within a COM server handling a call from a client to initialize the CAccessToken with the access token from the COM client.

bool OpenCOMClientToken(
    DWORD dwDesiredAccess,
    bool bImpersonate = false,
    bool bOpenAsSelf = true) throw(...);

Parameters

dwDesiredAccess
Specifies an access mask that specifies the requested types of access to the access token. These requested access types are compared with the token's DACL to determine which accesses are granted or denied.

bImpersonate
If true, the current thread will impersonate the calling COM client if this call completes successfully. If false, the access token will be opened, but the thread will not have an impersonation token when this call completes.

bOpenAsSelf
Indicates whether the access check is to be made against the security context of the thread calling the GetThreadToken method or against the security context of the process for the calling thread.

If this parameter is false, the access check is performed using the security context for the calling thread. If the thread is impersonating a client, this security context can be that of a client process. If this parameter is true, the access check is made using the security context of the process for the calling thread.

Return Value

Returns true on success, false on failure.

Remarks

The CAutoRevertImpersonation Class can be used to automatically revert impersonated access tokens created by setting the bImpersonate flag to true.

CAccessToken::OpenNamedPipeClientToken

Call this method from within a server taking requests over a named pipe to initialize the CAccessToken with the access token from the client.

bool OpenNamedPipeClientToken(
    HANDLE hPipe,
    DWORD dwDesiredAccess,
    bool bImpersonate = false,
    bool bOpenAsSelf = true) throw(...);

Parameters

hPipe
Handle to a named pipe.

dwDesiredAccess
Specifies an access mask that specifies the requested types of access to the access token. These requested access types are compared with the token's DACL to determine which accesses are granted or denied.

bImpersonate
If true, the current thread will impersonate the calling pipe client if this call completes successfully. If false, the access token will be opened, but the thread will not have an impersonation token when this call completes.

bOpenAsSelf
Indicates whether the access check is to be made against the security context of the thread calling the GetThreadToken method or against the security context of the process for the calling thread.

If this parameter is false, the access check is performed using the security context for the calling thread. If the thread is impersonating a client, this security context can be that of a client process. If this parameter is true, the access check is made using the security context of the process for the calling thread.

Return Value

Returns true on success, false on failure.

Remarks

The CAutoRevertImpersonation Class can be used to automatically revert impersonated access tokens created by setting the bImpersonate flag to true.

CAccessToken::OpenRPCClientToken

Call this method from within a server handling a call from an RPC client to initialize the CAccessToken with the access token from the client.

bool OpenRPCClientToken(
    RPC_BINDING_HANDLE BindingHandle,
    DWORD dwDesiredAccess,
    bool bImpersonate = false,
    bool bOpenAsSelf = true) throw(...);

Parameters

BindingHandle
Binding handle on the server that represents a binding to a client.

dwDesiredAccess
Specifies an access mask that specifies the requested types of access to the access token. These requested access types are compared with the token's DACL to determine which accesses are granted or denied.

bImpersonate
If true, the current thread will impersonate the calling RPC client if this call completes successfully. If false, the access token will be opened, but the thread will not have an impersonation token when this call completes.

bOpenAsSelf
Indicates whether the access check is to be made against the security context of the thread calling the GetThreadToken method or against the security context of the process for the calling thread.

If this parameter is false, the access check is performed using the security context for the calling thread. If the thread is impersonating a client, this security context can be that of a client process. If this parameter is true, the access check is made using the security context of the process for the calling thread.

Return Value

Returns true on success, false on failure.

Remarks

The CAutoRevertImpersonation Class can be used to automatically revert impersonated access tokens created by setting the bImpersonate flag to true.

CAccessToken::OpenThreadToken

Call this method to set the impersonation level and then initialize the CAccessToken with the token from the given thread.

bool OpenThreadToken(
    DWORD dwDesiredAccess,
    bool bImpersonate = false,
    bool bOpenAsSelf = true,
    SECURITY_IMPERSONATION_LEVEL sil = SecurityImpersonation) throw(...);

Parameters

dwDesiredAccess
Specifies an access mask that specifies the requested types of access to the access token. These requested access types are compared with the token's DACL to determine which accesses are granted or denied.

bImpersonate
If true, the thread will be left at the requested impersonation level after this method completes. If false, the thread will revert to its original impersonation level.

bOpenAsSelf
Indicates whether the access check is to be made against the security context of the thread calling the GetThreadToken method or against the security context of the process for the calling thread.

If this parameter is false, the access check is performed using the security context for the calling thread. If the thread is impersonating a client, this security context can be that of a client process. If this parameter is true, the access check is made using the security context of the process for the calling thread.

sil
Specifies a SECURITY_IMPERSONATION_LEVEL enumerated type that supplies the impersonation level of the token.

Return Value

Returns true on success, false on failure.

Remarks

OpenThreadToken is similar to CAccessToken::GetThreadToken, but sets the impersonation level before initializing the CAccessToken from the thread's access token.

The CAutoRevertImpersonation Class can be used to automatically revert impersonated access tokens created by setting the bImpersonate flag to true.

CAccessToken::PrivilegeCheck
