3.2.2.3.2 Specify Security Settings

  • Article

If a higher-level protocol requires security for its remote procedure method calls, it MUST supply to the client-side implementation of the RPC the following runtime information:

  • What security provider it wants to use.

  • What authentication level it wants to use.

  • Optionally what impersonation level it wants to use.

  • A Client Credential Handle

  • Any other security provider–specific information necessary for the security provider to function.

Higher-level protocols can specify security settings using the abstract interfaces as described in Appendix C. Higher-level protocols on the Windows runtime can use the RpcBindingSetAuthInfo and RpcBindingSetAuthInfoEx APIs.
