Security, Authorization functions

[anyuser]

Hi.

Do functions, eg.:
AuthzAccessCheck,
AuthzInitializeResourceManager,
AuthzAccessCheckCallback (user),
and,
the callback ACEs structures,
work on Win2k?

Thanks

Simlpy check the MSDN and you will find:

Windows NT/2000/XP: Included in Windows XP and Windows .NET Server.
Header: Declared in Authz.h.
Library: Use Authz.lib.

I guess this answers your question...

Thanks you for the pointer.
But that is not what I get :(

If it's not too much to ask, could you tell me where the quote come from.
A link, maybe?

Also, what is Windows .NET Server?

Thank you again.

Also, what is Windows .NET Server?
It was a previous name for Windows Server 2003... ;)

.Net Server = Win2003? Oh okay, I'm really bad with names.

The link. You mean that Redistributable Authorization Manager Runtime(AMR) for W2k?
I'm not quite sure what that mean. I think that means to use Authorization in W2k I have to install the AMR. Now, I should probably just try it, but playing with security seems a bit scary unless I get as much Info as I can. I believe it will probably run fine in W2003, but is that also the case with running it on W2k? How much of the functionality is supported?

Then there is more question, which I hope is just documentation error. It is inconsistent, for the functions, the W2k support is there. But for the callback ACE structure, it is just not there, which does not make sense. Check the page for ACCESS_ALLOWED_CALLBACK_ACE.

Thanks,
Sorry if it is not clear, I'm not very good with words.

NOTE : The page for ACE_HEADER is even more alarming.

The link answers your original question....which was simply whether the mentioned functions works in Windows 2000. They do not...as the documentation indicates.

So, I honestly don't know what else to say? What are you trying to accomplish?

[anyuser]

They don't work on W2k?
Then what is Authorization Manager Runtime for W2k (Redistributable) for?

Maybe I don't understand what Redistributable means?
