Migrating from the Authentication API
In the Windows Media Services 4.1 SDK, the Authentication API is used to create custom authentication plug-ins. For the Windows Media Services 9 Series SDK, a new plug-in architecture is used to create custom authentication plug-ins.
The following table shows the interfaces of the Authentication API and their equivalents in the Windows Media Services 9 Series SDK.
Version 4.1 interface |
9 Series equivalent |
|---|---|
INSSAuthenticationCallback |
IWMSAuthenticationCallback |
INSSAuthenticator |
IWMSAuthenticationPlugin, IWMSBasicPlugin |
INSSUserAuthentication |
IWMSAuthenticationContext |
Custom plug-ins created with the Windows Media Services 9 Series SDK are registered differently than the custom plug-ins created with the Windows Media Services 4.1 SDK. For information on registering plug-ins, see Registering Plug-ins.
