SSPI Handles

SSPI uses the following handle types and pointer to these handles:

• SecHandle and PSecHandle
• CredHandle and PCredHandle
• CtxtHandle and PCtxtHandle

These handle types and pointers to these handle types are defined as follows:

typedef struct _SecHandle {
      unsigned long      dwLower;
      unsigned long      dwUpper;
} SecHandle, * PSecHandle;

typedef SecHandle      CredHandle;
typedef PSecHandle     PCredHandle;

typedef SecHandle      CtxtHandle;
typedef PSecHandle     PCtxtHandle;

Note  For 16-bit environments, the PSecHandle type is actually a __far pointer.
