Context-Sensitive Cobranding
Microsoft® .NET Passport allows you to provide different cobranding text and graphics depending on which of the .NET Passport service pages a user is viewing. For example, cobranding on a "bad password" sign-in error page can be different from that on an "unknown user" error page.
To accomplish context-sensitive cobranding, two query string parameters are passed to your cobranding template file when it is called from one of the .NET Passport service pages. The PP_SERVICE parameter indicates whether the user is on a Registration page, a Login page, or one of the Member Services pages. The possible values for the PP_SERVICE parameter are shown in the following table.
A second parameter, PP_PAGE, indicates from which specific page the cobranding template is being called. Within your cobranding template JavaScript file, you can evaluate the PP_PAGE and PP_SERVICE parameters to specify separate HTML content for each type of service or for individual service pages.
The PP_PAGE parameter is associated with another .NET Passport feature called Pane Help. Each PP_PAGE value is equivalent to the Pane Help keyword for each page. This allows you to cobrand the page and, when appropriate, call the correct context-sensitive Help topics. For more information, see Implementing Pane Help in .NET Passport.

Language-Specific Cobranding
In addition to the PP_PAGE and PP_SERVICE query string parameters, Microsoft .NET Passport will also provide a parameter called lid. This value of this parameter is the same as the value of the lang_id parameter of the Passport Manager function call that directed the user to the .NET Passport service page. For more information, see Language Support.
