SecPkgContext_Sizes structure (sspi.h)

  • Article

The SecPkgContext_Sizes structure indicates the sizes of important structures used in the message support functions. The QueryContextAttributes (General) function uses this structure.

Syntax

typedef struct _SecPkgContext_Sizes {
  unsigned long cbMaxToken;
  unsigned long cbMaxSignature;
  unsigned long cbBlockSize;
  unsigned long cbSecurityTrailer;
} SecPkgContext_Sizes, *PSecPkgContext_Sizes;

Members

cbMaxToken

Specifies the maximum size of the security token used in the authentication exchanges.

cbMaxSignature

Specifies the maximum size of the signature created by the MakeSignature function. This member must be zero if integrity services are not requested or available.

cbBlockSize

Specifies the preferred integral size of the messages. For example, eight indicates that messages should be of size zero mod eight for optimal performance. Messages other than this block size can be padded.

cbSecurityTrailer

Size of the security trailer to be appended to messages. This member should be zero if the relevant services are not requested or available.
