Converts a string-format security descriptor into a valid, functional security descriptor.
bool FromString(
LPCTSTR pstr
) throw(...);
Parameters
- pstr
-
Pointer to a null-terminated string containing the string-format security descriptor to convert.
Returns true on success, false on failure.
The string can be created using CSecurityDesc::ToString. Converting the security descriptor into a string makes it easier to store and transmit.
This method is only available with Windows 2000 and later as it calls ConvertStringSecurityDescriptorToSecurityDescriptor.
