| 1 | This is the registry library. The registry is basically a bunch of
|
|---|
| 2 | hives, each of which is loaded from a file. When using a local registry,
|
|---|
| 3 | it is possible to specify where hives should be loaded from, etc.
|
|---|
| 4 |
|
|---|
| 5 | There are separate APIs for accessing the data in a hive and the
|
|---|
| 6 | data in the registry itself. Each supports different backends.
|
|---|
| 7 |
|
|---|
| 8 | The following "full registry" backends are currently provided:
|
|---|
| 9 |
|
|---|
| 10 | * Remote (over DCE/RPC)
|
|---|
| 11 | * Local (allows "mounting" hives)
|
|---|
| 12 | * Wine (uses the wine plain-text file)
|
|---|
| 13 |
|
|---|
| 14 | The following hive backends are supported:
|
|---|
| 15 |
|
|---|
| 16 | - ldb
|
|---|
| 17 | - regf (NTUSER.DAT-style files)
|
|---|
| 18 | - rpc (Remote individual hives)
|
|---|
| 19 | - directory
|
|---|
| 20 |
|
|---|
| 21 | reg_open_samba() loads a set of hives based on smb.conf settings.
|
|---|
| 22 | Lines in smb.conf should have the following syntax:
|
|---|
| 23 |
|
|---|
| 24 | registry:<hivename> = <backend>:<location>
|
|---|
| 25 |
|
|---|
| 26 | So an example usage could be:
|
|---|
| 27 |
|
|---|
| 28 | registry:HKEY_CURRENT_USER = regf:NTUSER.DAT
|
|---|
| 29 | registry:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE = ldb:tdb://registry.tdb
|
|---|
| 30 |
|
|---|
| 31 | WERR_NOT_SUPPORTED will be returned for all hives that haven't been set.
|
|---|
| 32 |
|
|---|
| 33 | On Windows the various registry hives are loaded from:
|
|---|
| 34 |
|
|---|
| 35 | HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG: %SystemRoot%\System32\Config\System
|
|---|
| 36 | HKEY_CURRENT_USER: %Profile%\NTUser.dat
|
|---|
| 37 | HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SAM: %SystemRoot%\System32\Config\Sam
|
|---|
| 38 | HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security: %SystemRoot%\System32\Config\Security
|
|---|
| 39 | HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software: %SystemRoot%\System32\Config\Software
|
|---|
| 40 | HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System: %SystemRoot%\System32\Config\System
|
|---|
| 41 | HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT: %SystemRoot%\System32\Config\Default
|
|---|
| 42 | HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE: is autogenerated
|
|---|
