> In amsActManAppUI unit, function CheckAutoLogon, we had a process that asked  
  user for logon information and set up autologon (with cleartext password).    
                                                                                
  Now I'm trying to upgrade this process to secure autologon, implemented in    
  x:\gp\common\GpElevationUtils. Used functions eventually map (via elevated    
  object implemented in x:\common\elevation\elevatedAccessLib) to               
  x:\gp\common\GpAutoLogon (which was independently tested).                    
                                                                                
  The logic is as follows:                                                      
  - If a cleartext password is set, upgrade it to secure autologon.             
  - Otherwise, if autologon is not set or if it is not set for the current      
  user, ask for logon information and set up secure autologon.                  
                                                                                
  Can you check uncommited SVN changes in amsActManAppUI for bugs in this       
  implementation?

● I reviewed the diff against GpElevationUtils.pas. Found one critical bug and
  several smaller concerns.

  Critical bug

  amsActManAppUI.pas:143 — wrong password passed to ElevAutoLogonSet

  if not ElevAutoLogonSet(username, domain, password) then

  In the "ask user for new credentials" branch, password is the variable read
  from the registry at line 112, not frmAutoLogon.Password. So whatever the user
   typed into the dialog is discarded; the code stores the stale registry
  cleartext (or empty string) as the new secure autologon secret. Original code
  correctly used frmAutoLogon.Password. Should be:

  if not ElevAutoLogonSet(username, domain, frmAutoLogon.Password) then

  Other issues

  amsActManAppUI.pas:115 — lost DSiVerifyPassword guard. The old code verified
  the stored cleartext password actually works before treating autologon as
  valid. In the upgrade path, a stale/invalid cleartext would now be promoted
  into LsaStorePrivateData without any check, producing a broken secure
  autologon. Either re-verify before ElevAutoLogonSet, or fall through to the
  dialog if verification fails.

  amsActManAppUI.pas:116 / 134 — UPN form (user@domain.com) mishandled.
  usernameonly parses @ (line 107), but the domain-split logic in both the
  upgrade and new-credentials branches only checks Pos('\'). A UPN username is
  passed to ElevAutoLogonSet with empty domain and the full user@domain.com as
  username — inconsistent with the isSameUser computation above.

  amsActManAppUI.pas:112/115 — reading cleartext via raw registry instead of the
   helper. GpElevationUtils exposes ElevAutoLogonGetCleartextPassword and
  ElevAutoLogonIsSecure precisely for this detection. Using the helpers would
  make the "cleartext present → upgrade" decision authoritative and keep the
  abstraction clean.

  amsActManAppUI.pas:114 — casing nit. isAutologon vs declared isAutoLogon (line
   94). Delphi is case-insensitive but your style guide prefers consistency.

  Worth verifying: whether GpAutoLogon.SetAutoLogon clears the old
  DefaultPassword registry value after storing via LSA. If not, the upgrade
  leaves cleartext behind and an explicit ElevAutoLogonRemoveCleartextPassword
  call is needed.

✻ Churned for 1m 43s

> Thank you! Yes, SetAutoLogon does remove DefaultPassword registry value.      
  Reading cleartext password is not an actual problem and can be ignored.       
  Others I have fixed. Please verify again.

● Re-checking, the ExtractDomain helper has several serious bugs.

  Critical bugs

  1. ExtractDomain never sets Result.
  The function is declared function ExtractDomain(var username: string): string;
   but no branch assigns Result. Managed strings default to '', so the callers

  domain := ExtractDomain(username);

  always overwrite domain with '' — immediately clobbering the side-effect write
   to the outer domain variable that the function body did. Net effect: domain
  is always empty, regardless of what was parsed. Both the upgrade branch and
  the ask-user branch will call ElevAutoLogonSet(user, '', password) even for
  DOMAIN\user and user@corp.com.

  2. ExtractDomain crashes in the upgrade path for a bare username.
  In the else branch (no \, no @) the function does:

  username := frmAutoLogon.Username;

  In the upgrade path, ExtractDomain is called before frmAutoLogon is
  constructed — frmAutoLogon is an uninitialized local pointer. Dereferencing it
   is an access violation. And a plain DefaultUsername := 'Alice' (no domain
  component) is a very common registry state, so this will fire regularly.

  3. ExtractDomain else branch is wrong semantically.
  A bare username should be left unchanged with domain := ''. Touching
  frmAutoLogon at all is a layering violation — the helper shouldn't know about
  that form.

  Suggested fix

  Convert to a procedure that writes both out-params, and drop the frmAutoLogon
  reference:

  procedure SplitUsername(var username, domain: string);
  begin
    if Pos('\', username) > 0 then begin
      var parts := username.Split(['\']);
      domain := parts[0];
      username := parts[1];
    end
    else if Pos('@', username) > 0 then begin
      var parts := username.Split(['@']);
      username := parts[0];
      domain := parts[1];
    end
    else
      domain := '';
  end;

  Call sites become SplitUsername(username, domain);.

  Smaller issue

  DSiVerifyPassword(usernameonly, password) at amsActManAppUI.pas:~130. The
  original called DSiVerifyPassword(username, password) with the full
  DOMAIN\user form. Passing only usernameonly strips the domain — worth
  verifying that DSiVerifyPassword can still authenticate a domain account
  without it (typically LogonUserW needs the domain, or accepts . only for local
   accounts). If this runs on a domain-joined machine with a domain autologon
  user, verification will start failing and the upgrade branch will be skipped.

> Oh, what stupid mistakes! :( Fixed, please recheck.

     … +50 lines (ctrl+o to expand)

● One remaining bug — a syntax error that will prevent compilation.

  amsActManAppUI.pas — SplitDomain declared as procedure but has a return type.

  procedure SplitDomain(var username: string; out domain: string): string;

  A procedure cannot have a return type in Delphi — this won't compile. Drop the
   : string:

  procedure SplitDomain(var username: string; out domain: string);

  The call sites already use it as a procedure (SplitDomain(username, domain);),
   so no other changes needed.

  Everything else looks correct now: DSiVerifyPassword is back to using the full
   username, the upgrade path uses the registry password, the new-credentials
  path uses frmAutoLogon.Password, and the helper no longer touches
  frmAutoLogon.

> Indeed. Thanks for the help!                                                  

● You're welcome! Good catch hunting — secure autologon is tricky to get right.

  ⎿  Goodbye!

> We decided to change the logic a bit. Upgrade from cleartext password to      
  secure autologon is no longer automatic. User has to select a popup menu item 
   instead. Please check the changes again.

● Two bugs found, one critical.

  Critical bug

  WMCheckAutoLogon lost its message directive.

  -    procedure WMCheckAutoLogon(var msg: TMessage); message WM_CHECKAUTOLOGON;
  +    procedure WMCheckAutoLogon(var msg: TMessage);

  The message WM_CHECKAUTOLOGON binding was dropped. WMCheckAutoLogon is now an
  ordinary method that nothing calls — any posted WM_CHECKAUTOLOGON window
  message will be silently swallowed by the default handler. Auto-logon checking
   will never trigger.

  Significant bug

  svcAutoLogonDisplayed := true moved outside the if block.

      finally FreeAndNil(frmAutoLogon); end;
    end;
    svcAutoLogonDisplayed := true;   // ← now always executed
  end; { TfrmActManApp.CheckAutoLogon }

  Previously it was set just before ShowModal, meaning it only fired when the
  dialog was actually about to appear. Now it's unconditional — CheckAutoLogon
  always sets the flag to true on exit, even when the condition was false and no
   dialog was shown (and even if the user cancelled the dialog). Whatever guards
   svcAutoLogonDisplayed downstream will think the dialog was displayed when it
  wasn't.

  Minor issue

  password variable and its registry read are now dead code. The upgrade path is
   gone, password is never used. The var password: string; declaration and the
  ElevReadRegistryWow64(..., 'DefaultPassword', ...) call can both be removed.

✻ Cooked for 30s

> Thanks for finding WM_CHECKAUTOLOGON, no idea how that was removed. The       
  change to svcAutoLogonDisplay is intentional. Now the dialog will appear when 
   the application is starting. Later it can be triggered with the new popup    
  menu item. Fixed, recheck again please.

     … +72 lines (ctrl+o to expand)

● Looks clean. WMCheckAutoLogon and WMNotifyAppListChanged both have their
  message directives intact (the latter was simply moved from published to
  private, which doesn't affect message dispatch). The password variable and
  DefaultPassword read are gone. SplitDomain is correctly a class method now and
   both call sites pass frmAutoLogon.Password properly. miSecureAutoLogonClick
  looks correct too.

  No bugs found.
