Building a Publishing Application Without Using a Lockbox
You can build a publishing application without a lockbox by using Msdrm.dll and the Active Directory Rights Management Services (AD RMS) SOAP APIs. For information about whether to use a lockbox or Msdrm.dll and the AD RMS Soap APIs, see Determining Whether to Use a Lockbox. To use the SOAP methods, you must also use the AD RMS functions that create issuance licenses.
The sample that is included with this SDK combines C++ and managed (C#) code, and demonstrates how to create wrappers for unmanaged code. You can use these same techniques when you write an application.
When you build a publishing application without using a lockbox, keep the following information in mind.
