Retrieve User Logon Name From The Registry In Windows

[IR]

 Posted by:  IR 

How can I retrieve the user logon name from registry in Windows using
Centura? I have been trying to use SalGetProfileString, but it's nor
working. Here's what I been doing:

String: REGSECTION =
'HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer'
String: REGENTRY = 'Logon User Name'
Boolean: bUseRegistry = TRUE

If bUseRegistry = TRUE
Call SalGetProfileString(REGSECTION, REGENTRY, '', dfUser, sCompanyName)
Call SalSetFocus(dfPassword)

Please help.

Thanks,
IR

I suppose the funktion from advapi32.dll fetches the username from the
registry
(if not Christian will hit me over the head with the truth :wink:

!!CB!! 145
Function: GetUserNameA
Description:
Export Ordinal: 0
Returns
Boolean: BOOL
Parameters
Receive String: LPSTR
Receive Number: LPDWORD

!!CB!! 174
Set nLogonIDLength = 32
Call SalStrSetBufferLength( sLogonIDName, nLogonIDLength )
Call GetUserNameA(sLogonIDName, nLogonIDLength )

You suppose... wrong :-)

GetUserName() calls LsaGetUserName() on client side,
which calls LsarGetUserName on server side which calls
LsapQueryClientInfo() which calls
NtOpenThreadToken()-NtQueryInformationToken() to get a Logon ID
, finally LsapGetLogonSession() on the returned Logon ID

Then, a bit more complicated....

VisDosGetEnvString( 'USERNAME' )
