[python-win32] Credential Manager "CredEnumerate"

[alessandro.zanni at bt.com]

Hi, 

First, thank you Tim for your response. 

In Windows 7 "CredEnumerate" enumerates the credential manager of the current user (except those having the flag: CRED_TYPE_DOMAIN_PASSWORD). However, in Windows 8 this function doesn't work. 
The mimikatz tool did it very well (I tried on Win7 and Win8 and it works well). When we saw the source code in C, it is possible to see that the function used to retrieve it are the same ("VaultGetItem"), but the structure not (there is a difference between PVAULTGETITEM7 and PVAULTGETITEM8). 

I know that it is possible to use ctype and a wrapper to call C functions. However, I wanted to know if there was a easier way to do it. Thank you for your help. Have a great day. 

Alessandro

But as you know, the way to retrieve the credential manager items changed from Windows 7 to 8.

I'm a little bit amused by your very polite "as you know" statement,
because I strongly suspect that no one on this list DID know it.  I'm
deeply into Windows -- I write Windows drivers for a living -- and I did
not know this had changed.

What is the new way?  MSDN doesn't mention any replacement.

Any Windows DLL that does not already have a win32 wrapper can be called
using ctypes.  It's a little bit tedious, but it's incredibly flexible.
