PWLX_CHANGE_PASSWORD_NOTIFY_EX callback function (winwlx.h)

  • Article

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

Called by GINA to tell a specific network provider (or all network providers) that a password has changed.

Note   GINA DLLs are ignored in Windows Vista.
 
In this way, GINA can pass a change password request through to a specific network provider.

This function supersedes the WlxChangePasswordNotify function.

[in] ProviderName

Specifies the name of a network provider, or NULL to allow the system to notify all network providers.
