This project demonstrates how to make use of password retrieval capability
6+
of AdmPwd.E, as published via integration library.
7+
8+
RunAsAdmin.exe runs any executable in security context of local admin account.
9+
User who runs the tool does not need to know password of local admin at all,
10+
as long as he/she has been delegated permission to Read Admin Password from
11+
Active Directory.
12+
Tool fetches the password from AD for user, and uses it to start new process.
13+
User does not need to know/enter the password at all - everything happens
14+
behind the scenes.
15+
16+
Note: For demo purpose, code is written in C++/CLR and as such, compiled code
17+
requires Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable to be installed on the machine.
