[PATCH] Added "admin_session" method - some help needed

[Nadezhda Ivanova]

Hi Samba Team,
As you know, I have been working on implementing security descriptor inheritance in Samba 4. Part of that implementation is doing some parts of the provisioning as user Administrator, as the default user and group depend on the user that creates an object, end comparison with WIN2008 shows that (well, maybe :)) they impersonate Administrator during provisioning. (Or it may simply be that you need Administrative access to run dcpromo). So, I made a function similar to system_session to create an admin session, and use set_session_info on samdb during provisioning to execute schema, domain and configuration creation as Administrator, and then revert back to system_session.
Provisioning appears to be successful, however during make test setpassword and newuser tests fail, and I cant figure out what may be the reason. I think it may be the re-setting of the session itself, as we get the same failure even if we reset with system_session, instead of admin_session. So obviously I am doing something wrong, any ideas?

Regards,
Nadya
