Writing and Installing a Security Support Provider
The design of SSPI enables additional SSPs to be written and added to the system. An SSP specific to a security model can be developed with relative ease or great complexity, depending on the level of integration with the operating system. A client SSP that allows connections to a new type of server could be developed very quickly, whereas a full SSP that provides local impersonation would require more effort.
SSPs are installed by updating a REG_SZ value in the registry, located as follows:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\ SecurityProviders = Provider1.dll, Provider2.dll,…
-
Data type
- REG\_SZ
A single DLL can contain multiple SSPs.
