IWMSAuthenticationContext Interface

You can use the IWMSAuthenticationContext interface to authenticate a client, create an instance of an authentication plug-in, and provide account information. You must implement the methods in this interface when you create a custom authentication plug-in. The server calls the methods.

  • Note   This interface is available only on Windows Server 2003, Enterprise Edition; Windows Server 2003, Datacenter Edition; and Windows Server 2008.

In addition to the methods inherited from IUnknown, the IWMSAuthenticationContext interface exposes the following methods.

Method Description
Authenticate Called by the server to verify client credentials.
GetAuthenticationPlugin Called by the server to retrieve a pointer to the authentication plug-in.
GetImpersonationAccountName Called by the server to retrieve the name of the Windows 2000 security user or group account that the authentication context simulates if authentication succeeds.
GetImpersonationToken Called by the server to retrieve the handle of the Windows 2000 security user or group account that the authentication context simulates if authentication succeeds.
GetLogicalUserID Called by the server to retrieve the logical user ID if authentication succeeds.
