Run process under diffrent user

[Philip Wagenaar]

Framework 1.1

I want to start AcrobatReader to print a printjob under a specific username
(so that the owner of the printjob is not the username of the application
that the .net application runs under).

So how can I start a process under another user? The password of the user is
known. (I already have code to create user if needed)

If this can be done easier in Framework 2.0 I can switch to that, but it
would be my first 2.0 app so if it can be done with as much easy, or trouble,
then I'd prefer 1.1.

..NET 1.0/1.1 doesn't provide managed support to do that.

In .NET 2.0 you can use the 'Process' class:

..NET Framework Class Library -- 'ProcessStartIn fo.UserName' Property

Hey Philip,

I think Herfried's suggestion are reasonable. For .NET 1.X, we have to use
unmanaged API to start process running under a specfic user... In .net
2.0 the new ProcessStartInf o has been modified to support specific user
credentials to start a new process under that specified account.... E.G:
=============== ===============
Sub StartNewProcess ()

Dim psi As New ProcessStartInf o("notepad.exe" )
psi.Domain = "machinenam e"
psi.UserName = "username"
Dim sstr As New System.Security .SecureString
Dim pwd As String = "Password01 !"

Dim chars() As Char = pwd.ToCharArray ()

Dim i As Integer

For i = 0 To chars.Length - 1
sstr.AppendChar (chars(i))
Next

psi.Password = sstr
psi.UseShellExe cute = False

Process.Start(p si)

Console.WriteLi ne("Sub Process started........ ...")

Console.ReadLin e()
End Sub
=============== ===============

Hope helps. Thanks,

Steven Cheng
