IWMSPublishingPoint.Authenticators (C#)
The Authenticators property retrieves an IWMSPlugins object containing a collection of authentication plug-ins.
Syntax
IWMSPlugins = IWMSPublishingPoint.Authenticators;
Property Value
An IWMSPlugins object containing authentication plug-ins.
If this property fails, it throws an exception.
| Number | Description |
| 0xC00D145AL | The publishing point was already removed. |
Remarks
This property is read-only. There is no limit to the number of plug-ins that can be in this collection. Authentication plug-ins can use one of three methods to identify clients:
- The plug-in can request that the client supply a password and user name. The password can be encrypted or sent as clear text.
- The plug-in can identify the client based on logon credentials.
- The plug-in can ignore passwords, user names, and logon credentials.
If the plug-in is able to authenticate the client, it sends information about the client to the authorization plug-in to determine whether access permission can be granted.
Example Code
using Microsoft.WindowsMediaServices.Interop;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;
// Declare variables.
WMSServer Server;
IWMSPublishingPoints PubPoints;
IWMSPublishingPoint PubPoint;
IWMSPlugins Plugins;
try {
// Create a new WMSServer object.
Server = new WMSServerClass();
// Retrieve the IWMSPublishingPoints object.
PubPoints = Server.PublishingPoints;
// Retrieve information about each publishing point.
for (int i = 0; i < PubPoints.Count; i++)
{
PubPoint = PubPoints[i];
// Retrieve the IWMSPlugins object
// containing authentication plug-ins.
Plugins = PubPoint.Authenticators;
}
}
catch (COMException comExc) {
// TODO: Handle COM exceptions.
}
catch (Exception e) {
// TODO: Handle exceptions.
