I am trying to call the Win32 API Function CredUnPackAuthenticationBufferW()
but have not been able to get the username/password values.
I'm using the code from this question, which creates the CredUIPromptForWindowsCredentialsW()
prompt. I'm now trying to unpack those values.
I have the following code (lots of this is from the linked question, I've included it here for completeness)
Public Type CREDUI_INFO
cbSize As Long
hwndParent As Long
pszMessageText As LongPtr
pszCaptionText As LongPtr
hbmBanner As Long

Sub Test()
Dim pUiInfo As CREDUI_INFO
Dim pulAuthPackage As LongPtr
Dim iSave As Long
Dim result As Long
Dim dwFlags As Long
Dim ulInAuthBufferSize As Long
Dim pulOutAuthBufferSize As LongPtr
Dim pvInAuthBuffer As LongPtr
Dim ppvOutAuthBuffer As LongPtr
pUiInfo.cbSize = LenB(pUiInfo)
pUiInfo.hwndParent = 0
pUiInfo.pszMessageText = StrPtr("Microsoft Word")
pUiInfo.pszCaptionText = StrPtr("Credentials required")
pulAuthPackage = 0
iSave = 0
dwFlags = CREDUIWIN_CHECKBOX + CREDUIWIN_ENUMERATE_CURRENT_USER + CREDUIWIN_ENUMERATE_ADMINS
ppvOutAuthBuffer = 0
pvInAuthBuffer = 0
ulInAuthBufferSize = 0
pulOutAuthBufferSize = 0
result = CredUIPromptForWindowsCredentials( _
pUiInfo, _
0, _
authPackage, _
pvInAuthBuffer, _
ulInAuthBufferSize, _
ppvOutAuthBuffer, _
pulOutAuthBufferSize, _

dwFlags)
If result = 0 Then
Dim res As LongPtr
Dim usernameBuf As LongPtr
Dim domainBuf As LongPtr
Dim passwordBuf As LongPtr
Dim max As Long
max = 100
res = CredUnPackAuthenticationBuffer(CRED_PACK_PROTECTED_CREDENTIALS, ppvOutAuthBuffer, pulOutAuthBufferSize, usernameBuf, MAX_USER_NAME, domainBuf, MAX_DOMAIN, passwordBuf, MAX_PASSWORD)
Dim error As Long
error = GetLastError()
MsgBox (res)
End If
End Sub
After entering credentials, result is 0. The call to CredUnPackAuthenticationBuffer
returns 0, but usernameBuf, domainBuf and passwordBuf are 0. The result of GetLastError() is also 0.
What am I doing wrong? I've tried changing the function parameters to be Strings for the username/domain/password buffer parameters, I've also tried various values for the dwFlags param and changing the flags passed to the CredUIPromptForWindowsCredentials
call but none of these changes have any impact.
EDIT: I've switched to calling Err.LastDllError, which gives "ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED".
