NIM: Add Identity Provider Pre-Process Message
The Network Identity Manager application does not provide a user interface for identity specification. That responsibility lies with the identity provider. Whenever a dialog needs to allow the user to specify an identity, the identity provider has to populate the dialog with the necessary controls so that the user can specify an identity. In the case of the Kerberos v5 identity provider, the controls allow the user to specify a username and a realm. Once the dialog is populated, the application will dispatch window messages to the identity provider. The identity provider will handle the window messages and notify the application when the selected identity changes. One deficiency of the API was that there was no message to notify the identity provider that an identity selection has to be made immediately. When the user invokes the default action for a dialog by hitting enter, the only message received by the dialog is a command identifier of the default action. In this case, the identity provider will not get a chance to notify the application of the identity selection. This patch fixes the API deficiency by introducing a new message, WMNC_IDENT_PREPROCESS, which the application can use to notify the identity provider that the dialog box is about to be processed. In response, the identity provider can notify the application of the selected identity even if no other messages were received by the identity provider. ticket: new component: windows git-svn-id: svn://anonsvn.mit.edu/krb5/trunk@19864 dc483132-0cff-0310-8789-dd5450dbe970
