IWMSAuthenticationContext.GetImpersonationAccountName (Visual Basic .NET)
The server calls the GetImpersonationAccountName method to retrieve the name of the Windows 2000 security user or group account that the authentication context simulates if authentication succeeds.
Syntax
Parameters
This method takes no parameters.
Return Values
This method returns a String containing the account name. 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.
Remarks
To impersonate a logged on user, a plug-in must retrieve a token that represents the user. How you do this depends upon the authentication protocol that your plug-in is designed to implement. For example, a Digest Authentication plug-in can use the System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity.Impersonate method of the Microsoft® Windows® .NET Framework.
Example Code
Public Function GetImpersonationAccountName() As String _ Implements IWMSAuthenticationContext.GetImpersonationAccountName Dim ImpContext As WindowsImpersonationContext Dim strIdentity As String Try ImpContext = WindowsIdentity.Impersonate(m_hToken) strIdentity = WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent.Name ImpContext.Undo() Return strIdentity Catch e As Exception ' Catch exceptions End Try End Function
