Subject: User impersonation in filesystem mini-redirector daemon works with cmd.exe but not Cygwin mintty.exe ?
Date: Wed, 24 Apr 2024 17:09:27 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAKAoaQnKy6XEAx9LUznrczmaESuFTRnbaTxj=Z3SgwiQ9BnjDQ@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hi!

----

I'm working right now on a filesystem min-redirector with
CYGWIN_NT-10.0-19045  3.6.0-0.115.g579064bf4d40.x86_64 and noticed a
malfunction.
The mini-rdr userland daemon is running as user "SYSTEM";
"SeImpersonatePrivilege" and
"SeDelegateSessionUserImpersonatePrivilege" are enabled, so user
impersonation is supposed to work...

... but the mini-rdr daemon can NOT do impersonation with requests
from Cygwin mintty.exe or Cygwin/KDE konsole.exe, as it only gets a
process token.
But if I run the same application with cmd.exe, then impersonation in
the min-rdr works and each thread properly gets a thread/impersonation
token.

Does anyone have an idea what might be the difference in this case,
and how I can debug this further ?

----

Bye,
Roland

P.S.: Out of curiosity, I tried this with /usr/bin/newgrp, and in this
case the min-rdr daemon also gets an impersonation token...
