LookupAccountNameW() has a stubbed but non-empty, incomplete, buggy
implementation. It fails a number of unit tests but Wine code relies on
this.
This is the SIXTH of a series of NINE patches that provide what may be a
reasonable first pass implementation of LookupAccountNameA() and
LookupAccountNameW() that:
- works for well known SIDs
- works for 'first user account'
- adds handling of 'first user account' to LookupAccountSid
- passes existing units tests for LookupAccountName
- corrects knock-on regression failures in the advapit32/security.c
unit tests (there may be others elsewhere)
- allows progress towards the resolution of Bug 14334
This patch handles a NULL account name by looking up the well-known-SID
name BUILTIN.
It means two more unit tests pass.
Why use this well-known-SID ? Well, it was the only well-known-SID that
fixes both unit test failures. I guess that a more correct
implementation would have to understand locales and introduce hundreds
of new unit tests I'm not qualified to provide.
This patch also amends the handling of well-know-SIDs. The original
implementation assumed (and my original patch hacked)
CreateWellKnownSid() to return the required SID size when the value
supplied was insufficient. This CreateWellKnownSid() does not do (I
tried on native Windows) so this patch amends LookupAccountNameW() to
work out the require SID size itself.
I guess this should have been two patches (or I should have
retrospectively changed the earlier patch) and have introduced new unit
tests. Will do better next time.
This amendment is not my usual robust code and is amended again in the
final patch in the series.
