Re: SCSI pass-through in user mode

The problem is that you cannot get a handle, CreateFile. You can do what
Mark suggests, write a service, or write an itermediate driver that attaches
to t he storage stack. Trust me. The service is much easier.

Oh ... and I have nver heard of SCSI_PASS_THROUGH_DIRECT_WITH_BUFFER IOCTL.
I think you meant SCSI_PASS_THROUGH_DIRECT.

I have an application that uses SCSI pass through to communicate with
my device. This application works fine if I log in as Administrator,
but in user mode it does not work.

I the problem on the SCSI_PASS_THROUGH_DIRECT_WITH_BUFFER IOCTL or when
I try to open the device using CreatFile function?

Thanks for your help


The problem is that SPT is a restricted interface. Write a service and
have your users give their requests to your service which in turn will
perform the SPT correctly.
