CSid Class

This class is a wrapper for a SID (security identifier) structure.

Important

This class and its members cannot be used in applications that execute in the Windows Runtime.

class CSid

Members

Name	Description
CSid::CSidArray	An array of CSid objects.

Name	Description
CSid::CSid	The constructor.
CSid::~CSid	The destructor.

Name	Description
CSid::AccountName	Returns the name of the account associated with the CSid object.
CSid::Domain	Returns the name of the domain associated with the CSid object.
CSid::EqualPrefix	Tests SID (security identifier) prefixes for equality.
CSid::GetLength	Returns the length of the CSid object.
CSid::GetPSID	Returns a pointer to a SID structure.
CSid::GetPSID_IDENTIFIER_AUTHORITY	Returns a pointer to the SID_IDENTIFIER_AUTHORITY structure.
CSid::GetSubAuthority	Returns a specified subauthority in a SID structure.
CSid::GetSubAuthorityCount	Returns the subauthority count.
CSid::IsValid	Tests the CSid object for validity.
CSid::LoadAccount	Updates the CSid object given the account name and domain, or an existing SID structure.
CSid::Sid	Returns the ID string.
CSid::SidNameUse	Returns a description of the state of the CSid object.

operator =	Assignment operator.
operator const SID *	Casts a CSid object to a pointer to a SID structure.

operator ==	Tests two security descriptor objects for equality
operator !=	Tests two security descriptor objects for inequality
operator <	Compares relative value of two security descriptor objects.
operator >	Compares relative value of two security descriptor objects.
operator <=	Compares relative value of two security descriptor objects.
operator >=	Compares relative value of two security descriptor objects.

The SID structure is a variable-length structure used to uniquely identify users or groups.

Applications should not modify the SID structure directly, but instead use the methods provided in this wrapper class. See also AtlGetOwnerSid, AtlSetGroupSid, AtlGetGroupSid, and AtlSetOwnerSid.
