NTAccount.Translate Method fails with error Some or all identity references could not be translated
.net, c#, translate, user-accounts
Solution
Solved by using second constructor of PipeAccessRule and SecurityIdentifier instead of string:
System.Security.Principal.SecurityIdentifier sid = new System.Security.Principal.SecurityIdentifier(System.Security.Principal.WellKnownSidType.BuiltinUsersSid, null);
PipeAccessRule par = new PipeAccessRule(sid, PipeAccessRights.ReadWrite, System.Security.AccessControl.AccessControlType.Allow);
Problem
``` PipeAccessRule par = new PipeAccessRule("Everyone", PipeAccessRights.ReadWrite, System.Security.AccessControl.AccessControlType.Allow); ``` This code fails with error: Some or all identity references could not be translated. I guess this is because I'm using "Everyone" while launch my app on non-English local. On English system everything is OK. How to avoid this? Is there some enum describes general user groups?
