InitSecurityInterfaceA function (sspi.h)
The InitSecurityInterface function returns a pointer to an SSPI dispatch table. This function enables clients to use SSPI without binding directly to an implementation of the interface.
Syntax
PSecurityFunctionTableA SEC_ENTRY InitSecurityInterfaceA();
Return value
If the function succeeds, the return value is a pointer to a SecurityFunctionTable structure.
If the function fails, the return value is NULL.
Remarks
Note
The sspi.h header defines InitSecurityInterface as an alias that automatically selects the ANSI or Unicode version of this function based on the definition of the UNICODE preprocessor constant. Mixing usage of the encoding-neutral alias with code that is not encoding-neutral can lead to mismatches that result in compilation or runtime errors. For more information, see Conventions for Function Prototypes. QueryContextAttributesExA and QueryCredentialsAttributesExA are not initialized.
