WlxWkstaLockedSAS function (winwlx.h)

  • Article

The WlxWkstaLockedSAS function must be implemented by a replacement GINA DLL. Winlogon calls this function when it receives a secure attention sequence (SAS) and the workstation is locked. The GINA should return a value that indicates the workstation is to remain locked, the workstation is to be unlocked, or the logged-on user is to be logged off (which leaves the workstation locked until the logoff is completed).

Note   GINA DLLs are ignored in Windows Vista.
 

Syntax

int WlxWkstaLockedSAS(
  [in] PVOID pWlxContext,
  [in] DWORD dwSasType
);

Parameters

[in] pWlxContext

A pointer to the GINA context associated with this window station. The GINA returns this context value when Winlogon calls WlxInitialize for this station.

[in] dwSasType

Specifies the type of SAS that occurred. Values from zero to WLX_SAS_TYPE_MAX_MSFT_VALUE are reserved for standard Microsoft SAS types. GINA developers can use values greater than WLX_SAS_TYPE_MAX_MSFT_VALUE to define additional SAS types.

The following SAS types are predefined.

Value Meaning
WLX_SAS_TYPE_CTRL_ALT_DEL
 Indicates a user has typed the standard CTRL+ALT+DEL secure attention sequence (SAS).
WLX_SAS_TYPE_SC_INSERT
 Indicates that a smart card has been inserted into a compatible device.
WLX_SAS_TYPE_SC_REMOVE
 Indicates that a smart card has been removed from a compatible device.
WLX_SAS_TYPE_TIMEOUT
 Indicates that no user input was received within the specified time-out period.

Return value

The WlxWkstaLockedSAS function should return the following values.

Return code Description
WLX_SAS_ACTION_NONE
 Tells Winlogon to keep the workstation locked.
WLX_SAS_ACTION_FORCE_LOGOFF
 Tells Winlogon to forcibly log the user off.
WLX_SAS_ACTION_LOGOFF
 Tells Winlogon to log the current user off.
WLX_SAS_ACTION_UNLOCK_WKSTA
 Tells Winlogon to unlock the workstation.

Remarks

Before calling WlxWkstaLockedSAS, Winlogon sets the desktop state so that the current desktop is the Winlogon desktop and sets the workstation state so that the desktop is locked.
