This article describes the internal effects of the UseCustomSecurity, TurnOffCallSecurity, TurnOffActivationSecurity and EnsureDataIntegrity settings.

QuickOPC version 2022.1 and later

COM and proxy initialization:

  • Without UseCustomSecurity: CoInitializeSecurity is not called, CoSetProxyBlanket is not called
  • With UseCustomSecurity (the default): CoInitializeSecurity is called, CoSetProxyBlanket is called

CoInitializeSecurity parameters:

  • Without TurnOffCallSecurity (the default): dwAuthnLevel = Common authentication level (see below); dwImpLevel = RPC_C_IMP_LEVEL_IMPERSONATE (3); pSecDesc = CSecurityDescriptor::InitializeFromThreadToken()>
  • With TurnOffCallSecurity: dwAuthnLevel = RPC_C_AUTHN_LEVEL_NONE (1); dwImpLevel = RPC_C_IMP_LEVEL_IMPERSONATE (3); pSecDesc = NULL

CoSetProxyBlanket parameters: dwAuthnLevel and dwImpLevel are the same as those used with CoInitializeSecurity.

COAUTHINFO* pAuthInfo in COSERVERINFO* passed to CoCreateInstanceEx (when machine name is not empty):

  • Without TurnOffActivationSecurity (the default): dwAuthnSvc = RPC_C_AUTHN_NONE; dwAuthzSvc = RPC_C_AUTHZ_NONE; pwszServerPrincName = NULL; dwAuthnLevel = RPC_C_AUTHN_LEVEL_NONE; dwImpersonationLevel = RPC_C_IMP_LEVEL_IMPERSONATE; pAuthIdentityData = NULL; dwCapabilities = EOAC_NONE;
  • With TurnOffActivationSecurity: NULL

(see https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/com/turning-off-activation-security?redirectedfrom=MSDN)

Common authentication level:

QuickOPC versions up to 2021.3

The information only applies to NativeClient implementation. The NetApiClient implementation uses different settings, and they cannot be changed by the parameters described here.

COM and proxy initialization: CoInitializeSecurity is not called

  • Without UseCustomSecurity: CoSetProxyBlanket is not called.
  • With UseCustomSecurity (the default): CoSetProxyBlanket is called.

CoInitializeSecurity parameters:

  • Without TurnOffCallSecurity (the default): dwAuthnLevel = Common authentication level (see below); dwImpLevel = RPC_C_IMP_LEVEL_IMPERSONATE (3); pSecDesc = CSecurityDescriptor::InitializeFromThreadToken()>
  • With TurnOffCallSecurity: dwAuthnLevel = RPC_C_AUTHN_LEVEL_NONE (1); dwImpLevel = RPC_C_IMP_LEVEL_IMPERSONATE (3); pSecDesc = NULL

CoSetProxyBlanket parameters: dwAuthnLevel and dwImpLevel are the same as those used with CoInitializeSecurity.

COAUTHINFO* pAuthInfo in COSERVERINFO* passed to CoCreateInstanceEx (when machine name is not empty):

  • Without TurnOffActivationSecurity (the default): dwAuthnSvc = RPC_C_AUTHN_NONE; dwAuthzSvc = RPC_C_AUTHZ_NONE; pwszServerPrincName = NULL; dwAuthnLevel = RPC_C_AUTHN_LEVEL_NONE; dwImpersonationLevel = RPC_C_IMP_LEVEL_IMPERSONATE; pAuthIdentityData = NULL; dwCapabilities = EOAC_NONE;
  • With TurnOffActivationSecurity: NULL

(see https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/com/turning-off-activation-security?redirectedfrom=MSDN)

Common authentication level: Always RPC_C_AUTHN_LEVEL_CONNECT (2).
