Hi all!
I'm trying to use a named EventWaitHandle to signal events between processes
that run on the same computer. One of them is a service running as SYSTEM and
the other one is a normal user. Creating the handle seems to be no problem,
but when the other process is calling EventWaitHandle .OpenExisting with the
same name, an UnauthorizedAcc essException is thrown with the message "Access
to the path is denied.".
Any idea on how to make it work? I'm completely clueless on this one...

What process is calling EventWaitHandle .OpenExisting? Service or application under common user?
Can you post code, where you create and initialize EventWaitHandle object?

When I test it, I start the executable first and then the service. If the
executable is running as an administrator, there is no problem. If it is a
normal user, the service will fail to open the existing event.
( If I start the service first, then the program as a normal user, then the
program will fail at an earlier stage, when a mutex is created with mutex =
new System.Threadin g.Mutex(false, "MyMutexNam e"); )
The code I use is taken from the help on the
EventWaitHandle .SetAccessContr ol method. I took Main, made it a public static
method with the name as an inparam and removed the deny rule on Synchronize
and Modify when the named event is created.
So, I guess the problem is to figure out how to give the normal user access
to work with a named Mutex/EventWaitHandle ...

Ahh... simple when you know the answer...
To create a named Mutex or EventWaitHandle that can be shared between users,
you should create Allow access rules for the identity "Everyone".
EventWaitHandle Security ewhSec =
new EventWaitHandle Security();
EventWaitHandle AccessRule rule =
new EventWaitHandle AccessRule("Eve ryone",
EventWaitHandle Rights.Synchron ize |
EventWaitHandle Rights.Modify,
AccessControlTy pe.Allow);
ewhSec.AddAcces sRule(rule);
ewh = new EventWaitHandle (false,
EventResetMode. AutoReset,
ewhName,
out wasCreated,
ewhSec);

What is the problem here? What exception is being thrown?
I suppose that mutex object is already created by the service without ( default ) mutex security.
To open mutex you can use same approach as for EventWaitHandle . That is Mutex.OpenExist ing(...)

I think using "Everyone" is not secure, it will be better to limit it to particular user.

Hello, Newsgroupians:
I'm still trying to work on synchronization of events. I think I can do it
using WaitHandle, EventWaitHandle, or Mutex. However, is it possible to
determine if the state is signaled or unsignaled for one of these? I've
looked on the Internet, but I cannot find any information in determining the
state. Thank you, again.

Hello,
I am using a VB.Net COM library to provide multi-threading to an
existing VB6 app. Library functions that start background operations
create an EventWaitHandle to be used to cancel the operation. How can
I return some kind of reference to the EventWaitHandle to the VB6 app
that can be used later in another library function call to cancel the
operation?
