Octet to decimal

[backibaxter]

I'm making a connection to Active Directory using ADODB connection. I can read almost everything from this but some outputs are in an Octet format.

For example objectSID is giving me only a ?.

Is there somebody that knows how to read or convert this?

 

I've found a converter function in ASP maybe someone can translate this to PHP?

 

TXT_ObjectGUID = HexStrToDecStr(OctetToHexStr(objRecordSet.fields("objectSID")))

Function OctetToHexStr(arrbytOctet) 
' Function to convert OctetString (byte array) to Hex string. 
Dim k 
OctetToHexStr = "" 
For k = 1 To Lenb(arrbytOctet) 
OctetToHexStr = OctetToHexStr _ 
& Right("0" & Hex(Ascb(Midb(arrbytOctet, k, 1))), 2) 
Next 
End Function 

Function HexStrToDecStr(strSid) 
' Function to convert hex Sid to decimal (SDDL) Sid. 
Dim arrbytSid, lngTemp, j 

ReDim arrbytSid(Len(strSid)/2 - 1) 
For j = 0 To UBound(arrbytSid) 
arrbytSid(j) = CInt("&H" & Mid(strSid, 2*j + 1, 2)) 
Next 

HexStrToDecStr = "S-" & arrbytSid(0) & "-" _ 
& arrbytSid(1) & "-" & arrbytSid(

lngTemp = arrbytSid(15) 
lngTemp = lngTemp * 256 + arrbytSid(14) 
lngTemp = lngTemp * 256 + arrbytSid(13) 
lngTemp = lngTemp * 256 + arrbytSid(12) 

HexStrToDecStr = HexStrToDecStr & "-" & CStr(lngTemp) 

lngTemp = arrbytSid(19) 
lngTemp = lngTemp * 256 + arrbytSid(18) 
lngTemp = lngTemp * 256 + arrbytSid(17) 
lngTemp = lngTemp * 256 + arrbytSid(16) 

HexStrToDecStr = HexStrToDecStr & "-" & CStr(lngTemp) 

lngTemp = arrbytSid(23) 
lngTemp = lngTemp * 256 + arrbytSid(22) 
lngTemp = lngTemp * 256 + arrbytSid(21) 
lngTemp = lngTemp * 256 + arrbytSid(20) 

HexStrToDecStr = HexStrToDecStr & "-" & CStr(lngTemp) 

lngTemp = arrbytSid(25) 
lngTemp = lngTemp * 256 + arrbytSid(24) 

HexStrToDecStr = HexStrToDecStr & "-" & CStr(lngTemp) 

End Function

It's called the octal numeral system, or base-8, not octet. And there's a function for this in php: octdec()

Sorry I used the dutch word instead of the English one.

 

When I use the octdec function, I get a 0.

Spoiler: "octet" was the right term.
