The current prototypes are:
BOOL server_install(char const ** message);
BOOL server_uninstall(char const ** message);
Thesee functions return TRUE if there were no errors and FALSE if there
was an error. [message] is an OUT parameter that the service can provide
for logging purposes.
These functions get called by the code in Service.cpp (in the cvsserver
project). After service creation, the "server_install" function for each
installed protocol is installed. Similarly, after service deletion (also
in Service.cpp:main()), the server_uninstall() function of each
installed protocol is called. Also, if the service detects that the
service's account settings change, each services' server_uninstall()
function will be called, followed immediately by server_install(). The
resultant message (if any) will get logged using ReportError. If any of
the protocols returns FALSE (an error occurred), then a log message
"CVSNT [un]installed with warnings" will be output.
For gserver_sspi_protocol.dll, the server_install function will register
the service with Active Directory with a SPN of "CVS/server:port" using
DsServerRegisterSpn. The server_uninstall function will de-register the
SPN. Basically, this will only work when the service is to run under the
LocalSystem account. For domain accounts, you have to have a domain
administrator add the SPN to the directory in most cases. Since I will
never be a domain admin, I can only test the auto-registration for
LocalSystem, so people shouldn't expect auto-registration to work for
domain accounts.
