You can either specify user credentials or machine credentials. See also
cli_credentials_set_machine().

Basically, if you need to connect synchronously, use
dcerpc_pipe_connect() and use
dcerpc_pipe_connect_send()/dcerpc_pipe_connect_recv() when you need to
connect asynchronously. There is also dcerpc_pipe_connect_b() (and
matching async functions) which allows you to specify a binding struct
rather than a binding string. 

Cheers,

Jelmer
