MSV1_0 SubAuthentication Sample
|
||
|
||
The MSV1_0 authentication package is the standard LSA authentication
|
||
package for Windows NT. It provides or supports:
|
||
|
||
Authentication of users in the SAM database.
|
||
Pass-Thru authentication of users in trusted domains.
|
||
|
||
Windows NT allows SubAuthentication DLLs to be used in conjunction
|
||
with the MSV1_0 authentication package. A SubAuthentication DLL
|
||
allows the authentication and validation criteria stored in SAM to be
|
||
replaced for particular subsystems that use the MSV1_0 authentication
|
||
package. For instance, a particular server might supply a SubAuthentication
|
||
DLL that validates a user’s password via a different algorithm, uses a
|
||
different granularity of logon hours, and/or specifies workstation restrictions
|
||
in a different format.
|
||
|
||
All of this can be accomplished using SubAuthentication DLLs without
|
||
sacrificing use of the SAM database (and losing its administration tools) or
|
||
losing pass-thru authentication.
|
||
|
||
For more information regarding authentication services in Windows NT and
|
||
Windows 2000, please see the SDK documentation.
