(repost from another address_
Here's something that may be useful in this conversation about AD
Objects. I wrote with some reference help a script to pack a SID as I
was creating the necessary objects to create AD accounts from python
using python-ldap:
"""
packsid
"""
import base64,struct
def packsid(textsid):
if textsid[0] != 'S':
return;
data = (textsid[2:]).split('-')
rev = int(data[0])
idauth = int(data[1])
subauthcount = len(data) - 2
packedsid = struct.pack("8B", rev, subauthcount, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0,
idauth)
for i in range(0,subauthcount):
addpack = struct.pack("<L", long(data[2+i]))
packedsid = packedsid+addpack
return packedsid
respack = packsid('S-1-5-21-1398680112-2183325515-263647921-996')
resenc = base64.encodestring(respack)
print resenc
I barely remember how I arrived at each part, but it was mostly
through trial and error.
