SecPkgContext_AuthorityA structure (sspi.h)

  • Article

The SecPkgContext_Authority structure contains the name of the authenticating authority if one is available. It can be a certification authority (CA) or the name of a server or domain that authenticated the connection. The QueryContextAttributes (General) function uses this structure.

Syntax

typedef struct _SecPkgContext_AuthorityA {
  SEC_CHAR *sAuthorityName;
} SecPkgContext_AuthorityA, *PSecPkgContext_AuthorityA;

Members

sAuthorityName

Pointer to a null-terminated string containing the name of the authenticating authority, if available.

Remarks

Note

The sspi.h header defines SecPkgContext_Authority as an alias which automatically selects the ANSI or Unicode version of this function based on the definition of the UNICODE preprocessor constant. Mixing usage of the encoding-neutral alias with code that not encoding-neutral can lead to mismatches that result in compilation or runtime errors. For more information, see Conventions for Function Prototypes.
