Using cygwin LSA authentication package with non-cygwin applications?

[Michal Suchanek]

Hello,

Is it possible to use the cyglsa.dll with non-cygwin applications?

>From licensing standpoint if the exception that opensource software
can use the Cygwin library applies to this use I guess it would be
good enough for me.

>From technical standpoint I can't locate the authentication package in
my code but that might be an issue with the code.

I see the cyglsa.dll installed in lsass.exe and don't see cygwin1.dll
there so I guess this is self-contained service that could be used
independently of Cygwin.

Is there a sample code that connects to LSA and invokes the package
outside of Cygwin?

I am not against discussing this one of the Cygwin mailing lists but
this is not exactly a Cygwin question so I am not sure if this is
appropriate.

Thanks

Michal
