IObjectContext::IsSecurityEnabled Method

[This product will work only on Windows NT 4.0 versions and earlier. For Windows 2000 and later, see COM+ (Component Services).]

Indicates whether or not security is enabled for the current object. MTS security is enabled unless the object is running in the client's process.

Provided By

IObjectContext

BOOL IObjectContext::IsSecurityEnabled ( );

Return Values

TRUE
Security is enabled for this object.

FALSE
Security is not enabled for this object.

Remarks

MTS security is enabled only if an object is running in a server process. This could be either because the object's component was configured to run in a client's process, or because the component and the client are in the same package. If the object is running in the client's process, there is no security checking and IsSecurityEnabled will always return FALSE.
