LsaConnectUntrusted function (ntsecapi.h)
The LsaConnectUntrusted function establishes an untrusted connection to the LSA server.
Syntax
NTSTATUS LsaConnectUntrusted(
[out] PHANDLE LsaHandle
);
Parameters
[out] LsaHandle
Pointer to a handle that receives the connection handle, which must be provided in future authentication services.
Return value
If the function succeeds, the return value is STATUS_SUCCESS.
If the function fails, the return value is an NTSTATUS code. For more information, see LSA Policy Function Return Values.
The LsaNtStatusToWinError function converts an NTSTATUS code to a Windows error code.
Remarks
LsaConnectUntrusted returns a handle to an untrusted connection; it does not verify any information about the caller. The handle should be closed using the LsaDeregisterLogonProcess function.
If your application simply needs to query information from authentication packages, you can use the handle returned by this function in calls to LsaCallAuthenticationPackage and LsaLookupAuthenticationPackage.
Applications with the SeTcbPrivilege privilege may create a trusted connection by calling LsaRegisterLogonProcess.
