RPC questions

[Kai Blin]

Hi folks, hey Rob,

I've been wanting to get into Wine RPC development for ages, and now I finally 
got myself to start reading through some of the code in dlls/rpcrt4.

Now, after going over rpc_bindings.c, tests/rpc.c and tests/server.c, I've got 
a couple of questions about that code.

I'd like to add a test for RpcBindingSetAuthInfo. It seems like server.c is 
the place to put it, right?

If I want to use RPC_C_AUTHN_WINNT, I need server side authentication for this 
test. Has anyone ever tried that before? I'm assuming I might need to run 
Wine as root in order to be able to connect to the winbindd privileged pipe 
in order to check the user, need to try that in "plain" ntlm_auth first.

Rob, you said you set up RPC so requests for Negotiate would be thumped to 
NTLM. I can't see that in RpcBindingSetAuthInfo. Is that patch in the tree, 
or is it too hacky?

Cheers,
Kai

It depends on what you're trying to test. If you want to test the API
and its effects on a binding then rpc.c is probably the best place. If
you want to test a client and server authenticating to each other then
server.c is the best place.

That isn't implemented on the RPC side yet (although I added some
preparation patches for it last week).

No, that patch is too much of a hack.
