  ULONG SEC_FAR* pcPackages,
  PSecPkgInfo SEC_FAR* ppPackageInfo 
);

Parameters

  • pcPackages
    [out] Pointer to the number of packages.

Remarks

The SecPkgInfo structures provide data that the caller can use to determine which security package best satisfies the caller's requirements.

The caller must assume that the security provider includes all available security packages in the single call to EnumerateSecurityPackages.

The caller must call the FreeContextBuffer function to free the buffer indicated by ppPackageInfo.
