hi monks-

Using perl cgi script from browser, trying to create a OLE object on server returns following error.

User credentials cannot be used for local connections

Win32::OLE(0.1702) error 0x80041064 in METHOD/PROPERTYGET "ConnectServer" at D:/cgi-bin/simkill.pl

below is my sample code :

my $loc = Win32::OLE->new("WbemScripting.SWbemLocator") 
      + or die "err stms here";      
my $servCon = $loc->ConnectServer($server, "root/cimv2", $username, $p
+assword, "MS_409", "ntlmdomain:".$strDomain);

I checked out that user runs with Iusr_ComputerName privilege using IE on IIS which is only a guest Account. So i am supplying administrator user name and password when creating an OLE object in the code above. same code from command prompt runs well both on local and remote machines but when a cgi script is made it fails to run from the browser. I feel there is some security aspect to it.

I tried hard to find a solution but could not.

Help me wise monks...

regards

amar
