IObjectContext::IsSecurityEnabled method (comsvcs.h)
Indicates whether security is enabled for the current object. COM+ security is enabled unless the object is running in the client's process.
Syntax
BOOL IsSecurityEnabled();
Return value
If security is enabled for this object, the return value is TRUE. Otherwise, it is FALSE.
Remarks
In the COM+ environment, server and library applications can use role-based security. IsSecurityEnabled returns TRUE when an application uses role-based security, and role-based security is enabled both for the application and the specific component that called the method.
MTS 2.0: In MTS 2.0, this method always returns FALSE when the current object is running in a library application, because MTS library applications cannot use role-based security. However, in the COM+ environment, library applications optionally can use role-based security.
