This function enables the type provider to determine whether two different target strings are semantically equivalent.

Syntax 

DWORD MatchTarget(
  DWORD 
dwType,
  PWSTR 
wszSrc,
  PWSTR 
wszDest,
  DWORD 
dwFlag,
  PBOOL 
pbMatch
);

Parameters

dwType

[in] Type for which the entry point is called.

wszSrc

[in] Target name of the souce.

wszDest

[in] Target name of the destination.

dwFlag

[in] Reserved, set to zero.

pbMatch

[out] Result of the match operation, and is either TRUE or FALSE.

Return Value

ERROR_SUCCESS is returned upon success. For a list of error codes, see Credential Manager Error Codes.

Remarks

If the credential type provider does not implement MatchTarget, then a case insensitive comparison is done by credential manager to compute the equivalency. Thus, even though \\serverand cifs\\servermay be the same target, MatchTargetwill return an error if the credential type provider does not implement it.

Requirements

Header cred_prov.h
Library coredll.lib
Windows Embedded CE Windows CE 5.0 and later
Windows Mobile Windows Mobile Version 5.0 and later
