Philzip Philzip Just in Town Registered: 2015-09-01 Posts: 3 Loc: Germany	Hey all! First of all, please excuse my language. English is not my native language, but I guess you'll be able to understand me. In our system, every user needs a certificate to sign in to a specific system. These certificates are unique and every user must not use a certificate of another user. This is what we got: Everytime a user logs on, a certificate is copied from a shared folder of the server to C:\users\username\. But if one of our coworkers signs in at another computer, he has access to the certificates of all people who signed in at this station previously. (everyone has local administrator privileges - we need that because of the software we use) My idea is the following script: Every time you log on, every local certificate (at c:\users\) shall be deleted except the one from the user who is signing in at this moment. Is this possible? If yes, how? Thank you very much! Regards from Germany Phil $\:\)$ Edited by Philzip (2015-09-01 01:00 PM)

This you can run in logon, log off or scheduled script. _________________________ ! download KiXnet

Its from my development coworkers, I don't know how it works. I just manage the servers and I need to solve their request.

Lonkero Lonkero KiX Master Guru Registered: 2001-06-05 Posts: 22346 Loc: OK	so the software does not employ certificate stores at all but loads the certificate on launch? in any case, like I said, dir() will be your ticket. you can search the board for some dir() code and the manual most likely has an example as well. something like: Code: $folder=dir('c:\users') while $folder<>'' if '%userprofile%'<>'c:\users\'+folder del 'c:\users\'+folder+'\thecertfile.cer' endif $folder=dir() loop _________________________ ! download KiXnet
