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

 * }

Q264246

-

The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft Platform Software Development Kit (SDK)

-

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.
