Subject: [PATCH]lib/stream-windows.c: Grant Access Privilege of Named Pipe to Creator

Current implementation of ovs on windows only allows LocalSystem and
Administrators to access the named pipe created with API of ovs.
Thus any service that needs to invoke the API to create named pipe
has to run as System account to interactive with ovs. It causes the
system more vulnerable if one of those services was break into.
The patch adds the creator owner account to allowed ACLs.

Hi,

Sorry I missed the email.

The direction sounds ok with me. It will surely help with unit tests, since right now they require elevated permissions.

Adding also Anand in the loop.
Anand do you like the idea?

Please also add a few lines to the documentation so users are aware of the change.

The patch as is, fails to apply. Rebase on master.

Also please change the title so it is in compliance with:
https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fdocs.openvswitch.org%2Fen%2Flatest%2Finternals%2Fcontributing%2Fsubmitting-patches%2F%23email-subject&data=02%7C01%7Cnwu%40vmware.com%7Cf87a8fa19a3d438325d008d79ef2400c%7Cb39138ca3cee4b4aa4d6cd83d9dd62f0%7C0%7C1%7C637152635616314521&sdata=h73zweLknUd2m9ReaYEe94QNR4wj3q5TilBV8tQmjiw%3D&reserved=0 

Thanks,
Alin.
