That API call is generally used by system services to impersonate a user.
For example, you use task scheduler to setup a job to run under a specific
userid/password. Since the task scheduler runs under the system context, it
has the right to use this api call to logon with the credentials supplied
when setting up the job.

PS - you might want to double check that article again. A logon type of "3"
means that someone logged on from the network.
