Remarks

The I_IrmProtector Interface is implemented by both integrated and autonomous IRM protectors. For more information on integrated and autonomous protectors, see Custom IRM Protectors.

For integrated IRM protectors:

SharePoint Foundation calls this method to unprotect rights-managed files of the file types associated with this protector.

This method must extract the document issuance license (IL) and server EUL from the protected file. (These certificates were included in the protected file when it was generated by the protector I_IrmProtector.HrProtect Method method.) The protector can then use these certificates to access I_IrmPolicyInfo Class methods to unprotect and decrypt the file.

For autonomous IRM protectors:

Autonomous protectors do not need to implement this method. An autonomous protector should return the HRESULT E_NOTIMPL if this method is called.
