IWMSAuthenticationPlugin.CreateAuthenticationContext (C#)

IWMSAuthenticationPlugin.CreateAuthenticationContext (C#)

The CreateAuthenticationContext method creates the authentication context and retrieves a pointer to it. The server calls this method at least once for each client that must be authenticated.

Syntax

Parameters

This method takes no parameters.

Return Values

This method returns an IWMSAuthenticationContext object. To report an error, the plug-in can throw a COMException object to the server. If the plug-in uses the IWMSEventLog object to log error information, it is recommended that it throw NS_E_PLUGIN_ERROR_REPORTED (0xC00D157D). Typically, the server attempts to make plug-in error information available to the server object model, the Windows Event Viewer, and the troubleshooting list in the details pane of the Windows Media Services MMC. However, if the plug-in uses the IWMSEventLog object to send custom error information to the Windows Event Viewer, throwing NS_E_PLUGIN_ERROR_REPORTED stops the server from also logging to the event viewer. For more information about plug-in error information, see Identifying Plug-in Errors.

Example Code

public IWMSAuthenticationContext CreateAuthenticationContext()
{
    return this;
}
