What exactly are NTDomainSID and NTSID ?

Hey,

While doing Section Acess, we come across:

1: NTName:  Windows login name of user

2: NTDomainSID

3: NTSID

What exactly are NTDomainSID and NTSID ?

Thanks

NTDOMAINSID: is a field that contains a string corresponding to a Windows NT Domain SID. This is a unique string identifying a specific Domain.

NTSID: A field that contains a Windows NT SID. An NTSID is a combination of the NT Domain SID and a unique identifier for the NT User or Group.

You can use one of the fields or a combination to log on to the QlikView document. The most common combination is to use the NTDOMAINSID to get the unique identifier for the domain and combine it with NTNAME to get the unique users for this domain.
