RE: Questions about AcceptSecurityContext (Schannel)

Hi Roy,

Sorry for letting you wait.

Based on the conversation with the product team, I get some clarify
regarding this issue:
1. This is doc issue, the description should be something like this: "the
output value of ptsTimeStamp may only be relied on when the return value is
SEC_E_OK".

Once AcceptSecurityContext (called with a NULL ptsTimeStamp as MSDN
indicates) returns SEC_E_OK, that means the security context received from
the client was accepted. It shouldn't be called again anymore.

I will notify the MSDN documentation team regarding this.

2. This means for Win2k / NT and downlevel, even if you specify something,
this parameter is not used. So you will not get the expiration time.

Hope this helps!

Best regards,
Jeffrey Tan
