FIX: The locale is set back to the default computer locale when a service application impersonates another user by calling the LogonUser API in Windows Services for UNIX 3.5 (902458)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Windows Services for UNIX 3.5

SYMPTOMS

Consider the following scenario. You install the client for Network File System (NFS) component from Microsoft Windows Services for UNIX 3.5. You change the locale setting by using a service application that calls the setlocale function. In this scenario, when the application impersonates another user by calling the LogonUser API, the locale is set back to the default computer locale.

CAUSE

This problem occurs because the NFS network provider DLL (Nfsnp.dll) resets the locale when the LogonUser API is called.
