Description

A security library for MS Windows that allows you to open existing or
create new security identifiers (SID's).

Synopsis

require 'win32/security'
include Win32

sid = Security::SID.open('some_user')

sid.valid? # => true
sid.to_s   # => "S-1-5-21-3733855671-1102023144-2002619019-1000"
sid.length # => 28
sid.sid    # => "\001\005\000\000\000\000\000\005\025\000\000\000..."

Future Plans

Create classes that encapsulate ACL's, ACE's, Token's, etc.

There are some unfinished versions of the ACL and ACE classes in the
repo if you're interested in taking a look.

Known Issues

None that I'm aware of. Please file any bug reports on the project page
at http://www.rubyforge.org/projects/win32utils.
