Sure. It's the same as saving a file to your own PC. Where are you stuck?

1 solution

I've had similar problems but connecting to OLAP.

I appreciate its a bit heavy, it took me a while to get working, but here's the code.

It believe you have to enable unsafe code in your project for it to work.

C#
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;
using System.Security;
using System.Security.Principal;
using System.Management;


public class Impersonate : IDisposable
  {

    private const int SERVICE_ALL_ACCESS = 0xF01FF;
    private const int SC_MANAGER_ALL_ACCESS = 0xF003F;
    private const int SERVICE_CONFIG_DESCRIPTION = 0x1;
    private const int SERVICE_CONFIG_FAILURE_ACTIONS = 0x2;
    private const int SERVICE_NO_CHANGE = -1;
    private const int ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED = 5;

    // logon types
    public const int LOGON32_LOGON_INTERACTIVE = 2;
    public const int LOGON32_LOGON_NETWORK = 3;
    public const int LOGON32_LOGON_NEW_CREDENTIALS = 9;

    // logon providers
    public const int LOGON32_PROVIDER_DEFAULT = 0;
    public const int LOGON32_PROVIDER_WINNT50 = 3;
    public const int LOGON32_PROVIDER_WINNT40 = 2;
    public const int LOGON32_PROVIDER_WINNT35 = 1;


    [StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential, CharSet = CharSet.Unicode)]
    public struct SERVICE_FAILURE_ACTIONS
    {
      public int dwResetPeriod;
      [MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.LPWStr)]
      public string lpRebootMsg;
      [MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.LPWStr)]
      public string lpCommand;
      public int cActions;
      public IntPtr lpsaActions;
    }

    [StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential)]
    public class SC_ACTION
    {
      public Int32 type;
      public UInt32 dwDelay;
    }

    // Win32 function to open the service control manager
    [DllImport("advapi32.dll")]
    public static extern IntPtr OpenSCManager(string lpMachineName, string lpDatabaseName, int dwDesiredAccess);

    // Win32 function to open a service instance
    [DllImport("advapi32.dll")]
    public static extern IntPtr OpenService(IntPtr hSCManager, string lpServiceName, int dwDesiredAccess);

    // Win32 function to change the service config for the failure actions.
    [DllImport("advapi32.dll", EntryPoint = "ChangeServiceConfig2")]
    public static extern bool ChangeServiceFailureActions(IntPtr hService, int dwInfoLevel,
    [MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.Struct)]
ref SERVICE_FAILURE_ACTIONS lpInfo);

    [DllImport("advapi32.dll", CharSet = CharSet.Unicode, SetLastError = true, EntryPoint = "QueryServiceConfig2W")]
    public static extern Boolean QueryServiceConfig2(IntPtr hService, UInt32 dwInfoLevel, IntPtr buffer, UInt32 cbBufSize, out UInt32 pcbBytesNeeded);

    [DllImport("kernel32.dll")]
    public static extern int GetLastError();

    [DllImport("advapi32.dll", SetLastError = true)]
    public static extern bool LogonUser(string lpszUsername, string lpszDomain, string lpszPassword, int dwLogonType, int dwLogonProvider, ref IntPtr phToken);
    [DllImport("kernel32.dll", CharSet = CharSet.Auto)]
    public unsafe static extern int FormatMessage(int dwFlags, ref IntPtr lpSource, int dwMessageId, int dwLanguageId, ref String lpBuffer, int nSize, IntPtr* arguments);
    [DllImport("kernel32.dll", CharSet = CharSet.Auto, SetLastError = true)]
    public static extern bool CloseHandle(IntPtr handle);
    [DllImport("advapi32.dll", CharSet = CharSet.Auto, SetLastError = true)]
    public extern static bool DuplicateToken(IntPtr existingTokenHandle, int SECURITY_IMPERSONATION_LEVEL, ref IntPtr duplicateTokenHandle);

    IntPtr token = IntPtr.Zero;
    IntPtr dupToken = IntPtr.Zero;
    WindowsImpersonationContext impersonatedUser = null;

    public Impersonate(string username, string computerName, string password)
    {

      try
      {
        bool isSuccess = LogonUser(username.Replace(@".\", ""), computerName, password, LOGON32_LOGON_NEW_CREDENTIALS, LOGON32_PROVIDER_DEFAULT, ref token);

        if (!isSuccess)
          throw new Exception("Error impersonating");

        isSuccess = DuplicateToken(token, 2, ref dupToken);

        if (!isSuccess)
        {
          throw new Exception("Error impersonating");
        }

        WindowsIdentity newIdentity = new WindowsIdentity(dupToken);
        impersonatedUser = newIdentity.Impersonate();

      }
      catch (Exception ex)
      {
        throw ex;
      }

    }

    
    ~Impersonate()
    {
      Dispose(false);
    }

    public void Dispose()
    {
      Dispose(true);
      GC.SuppressFinalize(this);
    }

    protected virtual void Dispose(bool disposing)
    {
      if (impersonatedUser != null)
        impersonatedUser.Undo();

      CloseHandle(token);
    }



  }


This is how to use it:

Pass in the username, domain and password.

C#
using (new Impersonate.Impersonate("Adam", "Eden", "Pa$$w0rd"))
      {

        // do work

      }
