Authentication Plug-in Sample

Authentication Plug-in Sample

The WMS SDK Sample Authentication plug-in illustrates how to use the Windows Media Services SDK to create an authentication plug-in and demonstrates how you can verify client credentials using your own routines in order to provide the exact functionality you require.

• Note   The sample plug-in will not authenticate users by default. Therefore, the CAuthenticateContext::GetImpersonationAccountName method must be implemented and the realm, user name, password, and domain of the guest user account must be defined to authenticate users.
• Note   If you are using this sample from the Platform SDK, you must register it before you can compile with Visual Studio. To do this, click Start, point to Programs, point to Microsoft Platform SDK for Windows Server or the equivalent on your computer, point to Visual Studio Registration, and then click Register PSDK Directories with Visual Studio.
