The SACAuth method establishes a secure authenticated channel between components.

Syntax

HRESULT SACAuth(DWORDdwProtocolID,DWORDdwPass,BYTE*pbDataIn,DWORDdwDataInLen,BYTE**ppbDataOut,DWORD*pdwDataOutLen);

Parameters

dwProtocolID

DWORD specifying the protocol identifier. This parameter must be set to SAC_PROTOCOL_V1.

dwPass

DWORD containing the number of the current pass.

pbDataIn

[in] Pointer to the first byte of the input authentication data.

dwDataInLen

DWORD specifying the length of the data to which pbDataIn points.

ppbDataOut

[out] Pointer to a pointer to the output authentication data.

pdwDataOutLen

Pointer to a DWORD specifying the length of the data to which ppbDataOut points.

Return Values

The method returns an HRESULT. All the interface methods in Windows Media Device Manager can return any of the following classes of error codes:

  • Standard COM error codes
  • Windows error codes converted to HRESULT values
  • Windows Media Device Manager error codes

For an extenstive list of possible error codes, see Error Codes.

Possible values include, but are not limited to, those in the following table.

Return code Description
S_OK The method succeeded.
E_INVALIDARG A parameter is invalid or is a NULL pointer.
E_FAIL An unspecified error occurred.

Remarks

This method is called one or more times as dictated by the protocol identifier. The structure of the data in pbDataIn and pbDataOut is determined by the values of dwProtocolID and dwPass. The dwPass parameter indicates the number of the communication pass that is under way.

This method is used by the service provider to implement the public IComponentAuthenticate::SACAuth method. For an example of calling this method, see that method's documentation.
