Authentication Services Functions

This section defines the authentication services functions. Among these are the SSPI callback functions, for example, AcceptSecurityContext. A SecurityFunctionTable structure contains pointers to these callback functions.
Note
An SSPI callback function should be called by dereferencing the field of the same name in the SecurityFunctionTable structure retrieved by a call to the InitSecurityInterface function. It is not recommended to call the callback functions directly.
| Programming element | Description |
|---|---|
This function enables the server part of a transport application to establish a security context between the server and a remote client. |

|
This function completes an authentication token. |
|
This function decrypts a message. |
|
This function deletes local data structures associated with the specified security context. |
