LAN Manager API NetUserSetInfo - Changeable Flag Options (99276)

MORE INFORMATION

NetUserSetInfo() allows you to enable and disable various options, some of which are displayed on screens shown in Net Admin->Accounts->User->Select a User, others of which you can display only from the command line by typing: Not all of the user account options shown on page 608 of the "Programmer's Reference" can be altered through the use of LAN Manager APIs. These are the usri1_flag bit fields you can change using NetUserSetInfo():

  UF_SCRIPT
  UF_ACCOUNTDISABLE
  UF_HOMEDIR_REQUIRED
  UF_PASSWD_NOTREQD
  UF_PASSWD_CANT_CHANGE
				

NOTE: You cannot change the UF_DELETE_PROHIBITED flag bit shown on page

1. (The flags list is for reference only).

In the LAN Manager PTK source file examples, the file NETUSER.C demonstrates how to use the NetSetUserInfo() function call to enable a user account by making changes to the UF_ACCOUNTDISABLE bit of the (usri1_flags) variable: set the UF_ACCOUNTDISABLE bit in the usri1_flags variable to 0 (user account=ON). To disable it, set the bit to 1 (User Account=OFF).

Code to the flag bits has this syntax:

usri1_flags &= ~UF_ACCOUNTDISABLE     // to 0 enabling
usri1_flags |= UF_ACCOUNTDISABLE      // to 1 disabling
				

You can change the other changeable bits in the usri1_flags in a similar manner, to the extent that your user privileges allow.
