Hi,

Patch in the attachment fixes this problem. Now when a user status is different 
from active and one wants to perform operation on behalf of this user 
unsupported security level error is being returned. The patch can be applied to 
both 5.3.1 and 5.4.rc1. I've tested it using both mentioned version on Windows 
XP with SP1.


By the way I have a question whether wouldn't be better to return unknown 
security name error than unsupported security level when a user status is not 
active and request on behalf of this user has been received??? 


Regards,
Luke
