Return Code

Description

E_POINTER

The supplied identity handle pointer is NULL.

S_OK

The identity handle was successfully created.

Remarks

The handle that you create is passed as a parameter to several of the IDCRL methods. The PassportIdentityHandle object is used by IDCRL to represent a user account in the logon service, including the sign-in name of the account and any authentication or service tickets that are associated with the account. You can set the sign-in name for the identity when you create the handle or you can set it later by using the SetIdentityProperty method.
