IWMSAuthenticationContext Interface
You can use the IWMSAuthenticationContext interface to authenticate a client, create an instance of an authentication plug-in, and provide account information. You must implement the methods in this interface when you create a custom authentication plug-in. The server calls the methods.
Note
This interface is available only on Windows Server 2003, Enterprise Edition; Windows Server 2003, Datacenter Edition; and Windows Server 2008.
In addition to the methods inherited from IUnknown, the IWMSAuthenticationContext interface exposes the following methods.
