DOC: SChannel Security Package Is Not Supported with DCOM on Windows 2000 (264246)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Platform Software Development Kit (SDK) 1.0
This article was previously published under Q264246

SUMMARY

The Platform SDK documentation that is included in the Microsoft Developer Network (MSDN) Library incorrectly lists SChannel as a security package that you can use with Distributed Component Object Model (DCOM) on Microsoft Windows 2000. This is a documentation bug. SChannel is not a supported security package for DCOM on Windows 2000.

MORE INFORMATION

The following security packages are supported with DCOM on Windows 2000:
  • NTLMSSP (Microsoft Windows NT LAN Manager)
  • Kerberos v5 Protocol
  • Snego
NOTE: Snego does not provide authentication services, but checks for available security packages and selects the most appropriate one.
