MS Process Requests to the MS Password Server
MS Process Requests to the MS Password Server
The MS process makes a request to the password server on the following events:
•
MS bind operation invoked
•
Register-MS operation invoked (change credentials only)
The MS process sends an SPI-formatted request to the password server process. The
password server process then performs the specified request (to validate parameters) and
sends an SPI-formatted reply to the MS process. The MS process opens the server
process in nowait mode, and does a WRITEREADX followed by an MFM_AWAITIOX
call on the server process with a timeout: thus, it is effectively a waited interface.
MHS Manager Process Requests to the MS Password Server
