What exactly does NTDOMAINSID and NTSID fields do in Section Access please?

[jblomqvist]

Hello,

Can anybody please explain to me what exactly does the NTDOMAINSID and NTSID fields do in Section Access please?

In help it says:

NTDOMAINSID	A field that should contain a string corresponding to a Windows NT Domain SID. Example: S-1-5-21-125976590-4672381061092489882 QlikView will fetch the logon information from the OS and compare it to the value in this field.
NTSID	A field that should contain a Windows NT SID. Example: S-15-21-125976590-467238106-1092489882-1378 QlikView will fetch the logon information from the OS and compare it to the value in this field.

I still have no idea what it means by Windows NT Domain SID or Windows NT SID?

In practical terms why would a user want to use these two fields? What does it relate to for a non-technical user / non-security technical person?

HI John,

it's Windows terminology, please check out the following TECHNET Link:

If you don't know what they mean, don't use them
