PWLX_CHANGE_PASSWORD_NOTIFY callback function (winwlx.h)

  • Article

[The WlxChangePasswordNotify function is no longer available for use as of Windows Server 2008 and Windows Vista.]

Called by GINA to indicate it has changed a password.

Note   GINA DLLs are ignored in Windows Vista.
 
This allows Winlogon to notify other network providers on the computer to update their passwords as well.

This function has been superseded by the WlxChangePasswordNotifyEx function.

Syntax

PWLX_CHANGE_PASSWORD_NOTIFY PwlxChangePasswordNotify;

int PwlxChangePasswordNotify(
  [in] HANDLE hWlx,
  [in] PWLX_MPR_NOTIFY_INFO pMprInfo,
  [in] DWORD dwChangeInfo
)
{...}

Parameters

[in] hWlx

Specifies the Winlogon handle passed to GINA in the WlxInitialize call.

[in] pMprInfo

Changes the information flags from Network Provider API.

Return value

The WlxChangePasswordNotifyEx function returns zero if the function call succeeds. Any other value indicates an error.
