Q.
We're new to this Novell stuff, but we want our program, when running on a workstation that someone has logged onto with the Novell client, to figure out what server they were authenticated against (I assume this is known as the "NDS server").
When it gets to NWDSGetServerAddresses2, it returns FFFFFECD. I can retrieve tree names and such, and NWDSWhoAmI works, but I can't figure out how to get there from here. I assume the "connection handle" is allowed to be 0 if someone has successfully logged into a server?
A.
No, connection 0 is invalid from a workstation. Connection 0 is a special NLM server-side connection only. The following program will list all your current connections:
#include <stdio.h> #include <nwcalls.h> #include <nwclxcon.h>
void main(void)
{
NWCCODE cCode;
NWRCODE scanCode = 0;
nuint32 scanIterator = 0;
NWCCConnInfo connInfoBuf;
nuint32 connRef;
cCode = NWCallsInit(NULL,NULL);
if(cCode)
{
printf("NWCallsInit returned :%04X", cCode);
return;
}
scanCode = 0; scanIterator = 0;
while(scanCode != NWE_NO_MORE_ENTRIES)
{
scanCode = NWCCScanConnRefs(&scanIterator, &connRef);
if(scanCode && scanCode != NWE_NO_MORE_ENTRIES)
{
printf("NWCCScanConnRefs returned :%04X", cCode);
return;
}
if (scanCode!=0) break;
cCode = NWCCGetAllConnRefInfo(connRef, NWCC_INFO_VERSION_1, &connInfoBuf);
if (cCode == NWE_NO_MORE_ENTRIES)
{
printf("NWCCGetAllConnRefInfo returned :%04X", cCode);
return;
}
printf("\nServer Name: %s", connInfoBuf.serverName);
printf("\nTree Name: %s", connInfoBuf.treeName);
printf("\nConn Number: %d", connInfoBuf.connNum);
}
}
