FWPM_PROVIDER0 (Compact 2013)

3/26/2014

This structure stores the state associated with a policy provider.

Syntax

typedef struct FWPM_PROVIDER0_ {
  GUID providerKey;
  FWPM_DISPLAY_DATA0 displayData;
  UINT32 flags;
  FWP_BYTE_BLOB providerData;
  wchar_t* serviceName;
} FWPM_PROVIDER0;

Members

• providerKey
  Uniquely identifies the provider.

  If the GUID is zero-initialized in the call to Add, Base Filtering Engine (BFE) will generate one.

• displayData
  Allows providers to be annotated in a human-readable form. The name member of the FWPM_DISPLAY_DATA0 structure is required.

• flags
  Bit flags that indicate information about the persistence of the provider.

  Possible values are listed in the Remarks section below.

• providerData
  An FWP_BYTE_BLOB structure that contains optional provider-specific data that allows providers to store additional context info with the object.

• serviceName
  Optional name of the Windows service hosting the provider. This allows BFE to detect that a provider has been disabled.

Remarks

The following is a list of the possible values for the flags data member:

Value	Meaning
FWPM_PROVIDER_FLAG_PERSISTENT	Provider is persistent
FWPM_PROVIDER_FLAG_DISABLED	Provider's filters were disabled when the BFE started because the provider has no associated Windows service name, or because the associated service was not set to auto-start. Note: This flag cannot be set when adding new providers. It can only be returned by BFE when getting or enumerating providers.
