[Samba] Lookup sid with libsmbclient (invoked from c# on mono)

[Vincent Le Toux]

Typical example:
Here is some search & export for libsmbclient:
adiant at ubuntu:/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu$ nm  -D libsmbclient.so.0 |grep
cli_rpc_pipe_open_noauth_transport
<nothing>
adiant at ubuntu:/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu$ nm  -D libsmbclient.so.0 |grep
cli_rpc_pipe_open
                 U cli_rpc_pipe_open_noauth
adiant at ubuntu:/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu$ nm  -D libsmbclient.so.0 |grep lsa
                 U ndr_table_lsarpc
                 U rpccli_lsa_lookup_names
                 U rpccli_lsa_lookup_sids
                 U rpccli_lsa_open_policy

So I need to call rpccli_lsa_open_policy you need struct
rpc_pipe_client *lsa_pipe
(ex:
https://gitlab.com/samba-team/devel/samba/-/blob/master/source3/lib/netapi/localgroup.c
)
This structure is transformed from struct cli_state *cli, into struct
rpc_pipe_client *rpccli; you may call  cli_rpc_pipe_open_noauth_transport
to do that (
https://gitlab.com/samba-team/devel/samba/-/blob/master/examples/winexe/winexe.c#L458
)
cli_rpc_pipe_open_noauth_transport is not exported.

maybe i should use cli_rpc_pipe_open_noauth which is closed, but exported.

Also another example. Sometimes the cli api is called, sometimes the dcerpc
one.
Typical example here:
https://gitlab.com/samba-team/devel/samba/-/blob/master/source3/lib/netapi/localgroup.c#L1028-1045

Do you understand my problem ?
I have to explore all the possible ways to build that call stack by
starting from the end.
That's why I'm asking if there is an easier way to proceed.
