RunAsSet - No more?

[RediXe]

Is the RunAsSet no longer in use? I get an unknown function error when I try to use it, so I checked:

http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/docs/functions/

to make sure I was doing it correct and it isn't there. Am I just missing something obvious? I did some google searches and my syntax appears to be correct it is just that the function doesn't exist. It's been a good while since I used autoit for admin purposes so maybe I missed a change. If there is a work around please let me know. TIA!

Correct, the function: "RunAsSet" has been removed from the AutoIt functions!

Best of Luck, J.B.

AutoIt:

RunAsSet() has been removed. Use the new RunAs() and RunAsWait() functions instead. They have been enhanced with slightly better security (It is still not recommended to store important passwords in your scripts) and more functionality.

How do you suggest getting around this? Just curious.

Use _StringEncrypt() to encrypt the passwords with RC4, then store the decryption key in the registry or an ini file only accessible on your network.
