Metze,
The UserParameters attribute was documented in 2.345 MS-ADA3. It is
defined as a Unicode string as below:
" This attribute specifies parameters of the user. Points to a Unicode
string that is set aside for use by
applications. This string can be a null string, or it can have any number of
characters before the
terminating null character. Terminal servers use this attribute to store
session configuration data for
the user. For more information, see [MS-TSTS]."
As per MD-GLOS , throughout the protocol document, unless otherwise
specified , an Unicode string follows the UTF-
16LE encoding scheme with no Byte Order Mark (BOM). so it is not documented
as UTF8 Unicode string.
But I am wondering if it matters what kind of Unicode encoding (utf8 vs
utf16) is used. The structure layout of this attribute is documented in
2.3.1 MS-TSTS. It is just a BLOB interpreted by the Terminal Service , not a
null terminated Unicode string. We may be not correct to define the
attribute as a Unicode string (attributeSyntax: 2.5.5.12 ) in 2.345 MS-ADA3.
I will file a request to check with the product team.
Let me know if it makes sense.
Thanks!
Hongwei

BTW: is it documented that the userParameters attribute is stored as
utf8 string, while
the samr interface uses UTF16? See

(I haven't uploaded examples, but I plan to do so in the next weeks)
