TOKEN_SOURCE structure

Applies to: desktop apps only

The TOKEN_SOURCE structure identifies the source of an access token.

Copy

typedef struct _TOKEN_SOURCE {
  CHAR SourceName[TOKEN_SOURCE_LENGTH];
  LUID SourceIdentifier;
} TOKEN_SOURCE, *PTOKEN_SOURCE;

SourceName: Specifies an 8-byte character string used to identify the source of an access token. This is used to distinguish between such sources as Session Manager, LAN Manager, and RPC Server. A string, rather than a constant, is used to identify the source so users and developers can make extensions to the system, such as by adding other networks, that act as the source of access tokens.
SourceIdentifier: Specifies a locally unique identifier (LUID) provided by the source component named by the SourceName member. This value aids the source component in relating context blocks, such as session-control structures, to the token. This value is typically, but not necessarily, an LUID.
