Remarks
The I_IrmProtector Interface is implemented by both integrated and autonomous IRM protectors. For more information about integrated and autonomous protectors, see Custom IRM Protectors.
For integrated IRM protectors:
Integrated protectors do not need to implement this method. An integrated protector should return the HRESULT E_NOTIMPL if this method is called.
For autonomous IRM protectors:
SharePoint Foundation calls this method to unprotect rights-managed files of the file types associated with this protector. For autonomous protectors, you must implement the I_IrmProtector.HrProtect Method method so that it configures and executes the entire rights management process.
In general, you should implement the HrUnprotect5 method of an autonomous protector so that it accomplishes the following tasks:
Use the piid parameter of the I_IrmPolicyInfo.HrSetListGuid Method method to provide SharePoint Foundation with the document library GUID that is stored in the rights metadata of the file. SharePoint Foundation uses this GUID to ensure that the file is uploaded to the document library from which it was downloaded.
Use the pilbOutput argument to provide SharePoint Foundation with an unencrypted version of the file.
Return the appropriate status value in the pwdStatus argument.
