My question in summary (read further down for details):

==> Is it possible to install, use and redistribute AuthorizationManager
(DLL and MMC) within a custom product also on XP?

---

In a previous project we successfully used Windows 2003
AuthenticationManager (AzMan) for fine-grained role-based authentication. We
also made use of the Administration Tools Pack for XP (for
development/testing purposes and server management)
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en.

In my current project (.NET 3.0/SQL) we are currently investigating
possibilities for role-based security (authorization). However, as a
requirement Windows XP (beside 2003 and Vista) is also a needed deployment
platform.

I quickly checked the license agreement of the AdminPack and understood (not
easy...) that an installation/redistribution is not allowed on XP, at least
for the whole AdminPack. However, we would only need the
Microsoft.Interop.Security.AzRoles.dll DLL and the MMC add-in.

Can anyone help?

IIRC - AzMan is only supported on W2K3..

I thought it was fully supported on XP too?

There probably are, but I think it is technically supported. Where is Dave
McPherson when we need him?

OP might consider reposting on microsoft.public.platformsdk.security to try
to get his attention.

AzMan is suppoorted on XP for development and administration via the Admin
Pack. It is not supported for deployment on XP.
