Re: [python-win32] User transparent authentication with PDC

[le dahut]

I come back with this subject because I still experience some difficulties.
I understand well now the principle of "sspi.py".

The problem is that the server is a Linux box, I can obviously not use 
pywin32 on it so how can I manage to do the same thing ?


I'm thinking about a ntlm compatible proxy which is able to do 
transparent win32 authentication.


Any ideas ?

In general, NTLM auth is tricky, but enlightenment can probably only 
come from reading the MSDN articles on the various functions used.  But 
in summary, the auth-process is multi-step - generate a request token, 
get a response token, generate another request token from that response, 
then get a final response with the final auth token.  At the end if 
this, all you get is a token which identifies the user, and depending on 
a number of things, the ability to impersonate that user.


Cheers,

Hello,
I've written a python network app in which the server runs on a
Samba-PDC (NT Domain controler) and the client on the windows NTdomain
clients.

I want to authenticate the connexions to the python server using a
transparent method.

Is there a way to get a user NTdomain authentication token and give it
back to the python-server so that it can validate it against the PDC ?


Look for the 'sspi' functions and demos, particularly the
win32\demos\security\sspi directory.

Cheers,

Mark

This STILL doesn't say anything about what you actually plan to do.

For example, are you developing mouse and keyboard hardware, and you
want to test whether they actually do the right thing?  Are you testing
an application you are developing, and you want to inject fake data into
that application to see how it responds?  Are you trying to learn how to
write filter drivers to add some kind of hardware features?  Those are
three VERY different kinds of tasks, requiring very different approaches.

The more specific you can be, the better the advice we can offer.
