Finding the Owner of a File Object in C++
The following example uses the GetSecurityInfo and LookupAccountSid functions to find and print the name of the owner of a file. The file exists in the current working directory on the local server.
#include <stdio.h> #include <windows.h> #include <tchar.h> #include "accctrl.h" #include "aclapi.h" #pragma comment(lib, "advapi32.lib") int main(void) { DWORD dwRtnCode = 0; PSID pSidOwner = NULL; BOOL bRtnBool = TRUE; LPTSTR AcctName = NULL; LPTSTR DomainName = NULL; DWORD dwAcctName = 1, dwDomainName = 1; SID_NAME_USE eUse = SidTypeUnknown; HANDLE hFile; PSECURITY_DESCRIPTOR pSD = NULL; // Get the handle of the file object. hFile = CreateFile( TEXT("myfile.txt"), GENERIC_READ, FILE_SHARE_READ, NULL, OPEN_EXISTING, FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL, NULL); // Check GetLastError for CreateFile error code. if (hFile == INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE) { DWORD dwErrorCode = 0; dwErrorCode = GetLastError(); _tprintf(TEXT("CreateFile error = %d\n"), dwErrorCode); return -1; } // Get the owner SID of the file. dwRtnCode = GetSecurityInfo( hFile, SE_FILE_OBJECT, OWNER_SECURITY_INFORMATION, &pSidOwner, NULL, NULL, NULL, &pSD); // Check GetLastError for GetSecurityInfo error condition. if (dwRtnCode != ERROR_SUCCESS) { DWORD dwErrorCode = 0; dwErrorCode = GetLastError(); _tprintf(TEXT("GetSecurityInfo error = %d\n"), dwErrorCode); return -1; } // First call to LookupAccountSid to get the buffer sizes. bRtnBool = LookupAccountSid( NULL, // local computer pSidOwner, AcctName, (LPDWORD)&dwAcctName, DomainName, (LPDWORD)&dwDomainName, &eUse); // Reallocate memory for the buffers.
