2007-10-10r464: a big improvement to the API for writing server-side RPCAndrew Tridgell1-2/+2
servers. Previously the server pipe code needed to return the RPC level status (nearly always "OK") and separately set the function call return using r->out.result. All the programmers writing servers (metze, jelmer and me) were often getting this wrong, by doing things like "return NT_STATUS_NO_MEMORY" which was really quite meaningless as there is no code like that at the dcerpc level. I have now modified pidl to generate the necessary boilerplate so that just returning the status you want from the function will work. So for a NTSTATUS function you return NT_STATUS_XXX and from a WERROR function you return WERR_XXX. If you really want to generate a DCERPC level fault rather than just a return value in your function then you should use the DCESRV_FAULT() macro which will correctly generate a fault for you. As a side effect, this also adds automatic type checking of all of our server side rpc functions, which was impossible with the old API. When I changed the API I found and fixed quite a few functions with the wrong type information, so this is definately useful. I have also changed the server side template generation to generate a DCERPC "operation range error" by default when you have not yet filled in a server side function. This allows us to correctly implement functions in any order in our rpc pipe servers and give the client the right information about the fault.

2004-01-08This patch adds a better dcerpc server infastructure.Stefan Metzmacher1-4/+2
1.) We now register endpoint servers add startup via register_backend() and later use the smb.conf 'dcerpc endpoint servers' parameter to setup the dcesrv_context 2.) each endpoint server can register at context creation time as much interfaces as it wants (multiple interfaces on one endpoint are supported!) (NOTE: there's a difference between 'endpoint server' and 'endpoint'! for details look at rpc_server/dcesrv_server.h) 3.) one endpoint can have a security descriptor registered to it self this will be checked in the future when a client wants to connect to an smb pipe endpoint. 4.) we now have a 'remote' endpoint server, which works like the ntvfs_cifs module it takes this options in the [globals] section: dcerpc remote:interfaces = srvsvc, winreg, w32time, epmapper dcerpc remote:binding = ... dcerpc remote:user = ... dcerpc remote:password = ... 5.) we currently have tree endpoint servers: epmapper, rpcecho and remote the default for the 'dcerpc endpiont servers = epmapper, rpcecho' for testing you can also do dcerpc endpoint servers = rpcecho, remote, epmapper dcerpc remote:interfaces = srvsvc, samr, netlogon 6,) please notice the the epmapper now only returns NO_ENTRIES (but I think we'll find a solution for this too:-) 7.) also there're some other stuff left, but step by step :-) This patch also includes updates for the register_subsystem() , ntvfs_init(), and some other funtions to check for duplicate subsystem registration metze (hmmm, my first large commit...I hope it works as supposed :-) (This used to be commit 917e45dafd5be4c2cd90ff425b8d6f8403122349)
2003-12-15added "pidl.pl --template" to dump a rough template to save typingAndrew Tridgell1-0/+88
when starting a pipe. Thanks to metze for a script that gave the idea. do something like this to use it: pidl.pl --parse --template librpc/idl/XXX.idl > rpc_server/XXX/rpc_XXX.c then fill in the functions in rpc_XXX.c (This used to be commit 68e71d7497ddc7b8239fc4bd7cb3e780a1f53a39)
