Re: Directory Services



Ok,

I downloaded the DSTools etc, and I found some hooks. I also took another
look in the CryptNoMore.c sources, and now I discovered why I did not find
ANY documentation since the stuff I was looking for were wrappers (in the .c
file) around the real functions, and since I discovered that, I am able to
find documentation...
