ObjectContext::IsSecurityEnabled method (comsvcs.h)

  • Article

Indicates whether security is enabled for the current object.

Syntax

HRESULT IsSecurityEnabled(
  [out] VARIANT_BOOL *pbIsEnabled
);

Parameters

[out] pbIsEnabled

TRUE if security is enabled for this object; FALSE otherwise.

Return value

This method can return the standard return values E_INVALIDARG, E_OUTOFMEMORY, and E_FAIL, as well as the following values.

Return code Description
S_OK
 The method completed successfully.
E_UNEXPECTED
 An unexpected error has occurred. This can happen if one object passes its ObjectContext pointer to another object and the other object calls IsSecurityEnabled using this pointer. An ObjectContext pointer is not valid outside the context of the object that originally obtained it.

Remarks

In the COM+ environment, server and library applications can use role-based security. IsSecurityEnabled returns TRUE when an application uses role-based security, and role-based security is enabled both for the application and the specific component that called the method.
