Remarks

Setting this property automatically sets the following properties to be consistent with the specified ProviderName value:

• KeySpec
• LegacyCsp
• ProviderType

These properties are set in the following manner:

• The provider configuration data is used, if available, to determine the appropriate ProviderType value.
• If the specified provider is a CNG KSP:
  • The LegacyCsp property is set to VARIANT_FALSE.
  • The KeySpec property is set to XCN_AT_NONE.
• If the specified provider is not a CNG KSP:
  • The LegacyCsp property is set to VARIANT_TRUE.

If you set the ProviderName property, we recommend that you do not set the LegacyCsp or ProviderType properties.
