Migrating from the Authentication API

In the Windows Media Services 4.1 SDK, the Authentication API is used to create custom authentication plug-ins. For the Windows Media Services 9 Series SDK, a new plug-in architecture is used to create custom authentication plug-ins.

The following table shows the interfaces of the Authentication API and their equivalents in the Windows Media Services 9 Series SDK.

Version 4.1 interface	9 Series equivalent
INSSAuthenticationCallback	IWMSAuthenticationCallback
INSSAuthenticator	IWMSAuthenticationPlugin, IWMSBasicPlugin
INSSUserAuthentication	IWMSAuthenticationContext

Custom plug-ins created with the Windows Media Services 9 Series SDK are registered differently than the custom plug-ins created with the Windows Media Services 4.1 SDK. For information on registering plug-ins, see Registering Plug-ins.
