USER_INFO_1 structure (lmaccess.h)

The USER_INFO_1 structure contains information about a user account, including account name, password data, privilege level, and the path to the user's home directory.

Syntax

typedef struct _USER_INFO_1 {
  LPWSTR usri1_name;
  LPWSTR usri1_password;
  DWORD  usri1_password_age;
  DWORD  usri1_priv;
  LPWSTR usri1_home_dir;
  LPWSTR usri1_comment;
  DWORD  usri1_flags;
  LPWSTR usri1_script_path;
} USER_INFO_1, *PUSER_INFO_1, *LPUSER_INFO_1;

Members

usri1_name

Type: LPWSTR

A pointer to a Unicode string that specifies the name of the user account. For the NetUserSetInfo function, this member is ignored. For more information, see the following Remarks section.

usri1_password

Type: LPWSTR

A pointer to a Unicode string that specifies the password of the user indicated by the usri1_name member. The length cannot exceed PWLEN bytes. The NetUserEnum and NetUserGetInfo functions return a NULL pointer to maintain password security.

By convention, the length of passwords is limited to LM20_PWLEN characters.

usri1_password_age

Type: DWORD

The number of seconds that have elapsed since the usri1_password member was last changed. The NetUserAdd and NetUserSetInfo functions ignore this member.

usri1_priv

Type: DWORD

The level of privilege assigned to the usri1_name member. When you call the NetUserAdd function, this member must be USER_PRIV_USER. When you call the NetUserSetInfo function, this member must be the value returned by the NetUserGetInfo function or the NetUserEnum function. This member can be one of the following values. For more information about user and group account rights, see Privileges.

Value Meaning
USER_PRIV_GUEST
Guest
USER_PRIV_USER
User
USER_PRIV_ADMIN
Administrator

usri1_home_dir

Type: LPWSTR

A pointer to a Unicode string specifying the path of the home directory for the user specified in the usri1_name member. The string can be NULL.

usri1_comment

Type: LPWSTR

A pointer to a Unicode string that contains a comment to associate with the user account. This string can be a NULL string, or it can have any number of characters before the terminating null character.

usri1_flags

Type: DWORD

This member can be one or more of the following values.

Note that setting user account control flags may require certain privileges and control access rights. For more information, see the Remarks section of the NetUserSetInfo function.

Value Meaning
UF_SCRIPT
The logon script executed. This value must be set.
UF_ACCOUNTDISABLE
The user's account is disabled.
UF_HOMEDIR_REQUIRED
The home directory is required. This value is ignored.
UF_PASSWD_NOTREQD
No password is required.
UF_PASSWD_CANT_CHANGE
The user cannot change the password.
UF_LOCKOUT
The account is currently locked out. You can call the NetUserSetInfo function and clear this value to unlock a previously locked account. You cannot use this value to lock a previously unlocked account.
UF_DONT_EXPIRE_PASSWD
The password should never expire on the account.
UF_ENCRYPTED_TEXT_PASSWORD_ALLOWED
The user's password is stored under reversible encryption in the Active Directory.
UF_NOT_DELEGATED
Marks the account as "sensitive"; other users cannot act as delegates of this user account.
UF_SMARTCARD_REQUIRED
Requires the user to log on to the user account with a smart card.
UF_USE_DES_KEY_ONLY
Restrict this principal to use only Data Encryption Standard (DES) encryption types for keys.
UF_DONT_REQUIRE_PREAUTH
This account does not require Kerberos preauthentication for logon.
UF_TRUSTED_FOR_DELEGATION
The account is enabled for delegation. This is a security-sensitive setting; accounts with this option enabled should be tightly controlled. This setting allows a service running under the account to assume a client's identity and authenticate as that user to other remote servers on the network.
UF_PASSWORD_EXPIRED
The user's password has expired.

Windows 2000:  This value is not supported.

UF_TRUSTED_TO_AUTHENTICATE_FOR_DELEGATION
The account is trusted to authenticate a user outside of the Kerberos security package and delegate that user through constrained delegation. This is a security-sensitive setting; accounts with this option enabled should be tightly controlled. This setting allows a service running under the account to assert a client's identity and authenticate as that user to specifically configured services on the network.

Windows 2000:  This value is not supported.

 

The following values describe the account type. Only one value can be set. You cannot change the account type using the NetUserSetInfo function.

Value Meaning
UF_NORMAL_ACCOUNT
This is a default account type that represents a typical user.
UF_TEMP_DUPLICATE_ACCOUNT
This is an account for users whose primary account is in another domain. This account provides user access to this domain, but not to any domain that trusts this domain. The User Manager refers to this account type as a local user account.
UF_WORKSTATION_TRUST_ACCOUNT
This is a computer account for a computer that is a member of this domain.
UF_SERVER_TRUST_ACCOUNT
This is a computer account for a backup domain controller that is a member of this domain.
UF_INTERDOMAIN_TRUST_ACCOUNT
This is a permit to trust account for a domain that trusts other domains.

usri1_script_path

Type: LPWSTR

A pointer to a Unicode string specifying the path for the user's logon script file. The script file can be a .CMD file, an .EXE file, or a .BAT file. The string can also be NULL.

In addition, account names cannot be terminated by a period and they cannot include commas or any of the following printable characters: ", /, , [, ], :, |, <, >, +, =, ;, ?, *. Names also cannot include characters in the range 1-31, which are nonprintable.
