RasAdminAcceptNewConnection 181K_E5

[New - Windows NT]

The RasAdminAcceptNewConnection function is an application-defined function that is exported by a third-party RAS server administration DLL. RAS calls this function when a user tries to establish a remote connection to a RAS server. The function decides whether the user is allowed to connect.

The RAS server calls RasAdminAcceptNewConnection once for each port in a multilink connection.

BOOL RasAdminAcceptNewConnection(

RAS_PORT_1 *pRasPort1,	// pointer to information about the connection
RAS_PORT_STATISTICS *pRasStats,	// pointer to statistics about the port
RAS_PARAMETERS *pRasParams	// pointer to an array of media-specific parameters and values
);

Parameters

pRasPort1

Pointer to a RAS_PORT_1NBJ1XN structure that contains RAS data about the pending connection. This structure contains the relevant connection information that you need to make a decision about the connection.

pRasStats

Pointer to a RAS_PORT_STATISTICSL8Q66T structure that contains statistics about the port.

pRasParams

Pointer to an array of RAS_PARAMETERS.U42AT structures. Each structure contains the name of a media-specific key, such as MAXCONNECTBPS, and its associated value.

Return Values

If the function returns TRUE, RAS accepts the new connection.

If the function returns FALSE, RAS does not accept the new connection.

Remarks

The RasAdminAcceptNewConnection function gives more control to a RAS server administration DLL to determine whether a specified remote user should be allowed to connect to a server.

The setup program for a third-party RAS administration DLL must register the DLL with RAS by providing information under the following key in the registry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\RAS\AdminDll

To register the DLL, set the following values under this key.

Value Name	Value Data
DisplayName	A REG_SZ string that contains the user-friendly display name of the DLL.
DLLPath	A REG_SZ string that contains the full path of the DLL.

For example, the registry entry for a RAS Administration DLL from a fictional company named Netwerks Corporation might be:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\RAS\AdminDll

DisplayName : REG_SZ : Netwerks RAS Admin DLL

DLLPath : REG_SZ : C:\nt\system32\ntwkadm.dll

The setup program for a RAS Administration DLL should also provide remove/uninstall functionality. If a user removes the DLL, the setup program should delete the DLL s registry entries.
