I was speaking of Windows Form Based Security... I've been searching through the forums and MSDN just trying to educate myself, and MSDN has such a broad range of subject matter, as here, that it's difficult to find some simple things... like MSDN has a large article on how programs should be able to run just as well as an user versus as an administrator... understandable so... but what about in cases such as mine where certain functions need domain admin priviledge to work... can you elevate priviledges for just a function... can you lower priviledges if they're not needed but the process is started by someone with elevate priviledges? I have a lot of secuirty questions but they are rather general... newbie type of questions since it hasn't been an issue in the past but is now... and I hate to overload the 'General' forum with those.
Like in the past I found out that when calling a certain API, the application that used it had to run with Full Trust... how could've I've done this through code versus doing it using the .NET configuration wizard as I did?
Or currently I need to save username and password information for certain computers because otherwise I'll be prompting the user every 60 seconds for information to multiple computers.... certainly do not want to save that in an Access DB... too easy to crack it's db pwd, but at the same time how can you keep that information secure?
With that... Is it safe to keep things like that retained in memory (variables) when your not actually using it... well I guess that would be wise, not safe...
but like I said, general stuff... but I'm happy to use the General Forum if necessary... Thanks.
