Trapping A Bad Login

[Adam Burgess]

Hi

I'm just trying to create a quick installer to install an app I need to rollout. What I want to do is to is use the RunAsSet Function and if the password is correct the go through and install the app otherwise exit the installer if it's incorrect. Below is a copy of what I have done. If the code looks messy it is because it's my first attempt with this so any help would be appreciated.

Regards

Adam Burgess

$sAdminPwd = InputBox("Password", "Please enter the Admistrator Password", "", "*")

RunAsSet("Admistrator ", "MyDomain", $sAdminPwd)

;Check if the password is correct

if @error = 0 Then

MsgBox(64, "Login", "Administrator has logged in successfully")

Else

MsgBox(64, "Error", "There is an error with your login. Try again later")

EndIf

I don't play with RunAsSet ever, but a few questions:

1. What OS are you trying to use this on?

2. I am going to assume since you have a Var for your AdminPassword, that your Domain is not really named "MyDomain"?

3. Your @error doesn't seem to be supported with RunAsSet():

Success: Returns 1--regardless of success. (If the login information was invalid, subsequent Run/RunWait commands will fail....)

Failure: Returns 0 if the operating system does not support this function.

Those are Return values not error values.

I'll look around to see if I can find anything, but if not, MHz will be on soon, and he loves to play with these functions

1. I'll be running it on XP SP2

2. That's correct

3. I don't know

This is probably (hopefully) a common and easy thing to do. I think I have been just looking at my code to closely and missing the obvious.

Cheers

Here, this thread looked promising, look at how he used Run() after RunAsSet(), you could do error handling after that I'm sure.

JdeB made a script for trapping a bad login: Admin.au3 can be found on his page: http://www.autoitscript.com/fileman/users/jdeb/jdeb_autoit_stuff.htm

There also apears to be a space after Administrator in your RunAsSet command... that might be causing an issue too.
