[cifs-protocol] RE: MS-SAMR missing SID name use type ?

[Neil B Martin]

Hi,

I would argue that the docs for MS-LSAT are clear on that point, what I
believe would have helped was that the MS-SAMR
Document had a short note and reference to the fact there MS-LSAT and
MS-SAMR  share similar but maybe not identical IDL.
The fact that we even had this discussion shows that it is easy to overlook
that important fact.

Regards,

..Neil

Hi Ronnie, Neil:
We have finished investigation on this case. MS-SAMR does not document
SidTypeComputer in enum SID_NAME_USE  because the enum value SidTypeComputer
=9  is not part of the SAMR protocol. The SAM object model does not
distinguish between computer objects and user objects, that is, computers
are users.

In case of [MS-LSAT], while enum SidTypeComputer is mentioned in the
document, it clearly states that:

The SidTypeInvalid and SidTypeComputer enumeration values are not used in
this protocol. Usage information on the remaining enumeration values is
specified in section 3.1..1.

Our investigation also concluded that enum SidTypeComputer does not appear
on wire for any Windows scenario. 

If you see this enum on wire, please feel free to bring it to our attention.
