passing additional data when establishing a non-interactive authentication

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Hi everybody,

I am doing some basic research for a product idea I have in mind and I'd
appreciate some feedback on it. My idea requires me to be able to pass some
context information when an authenticated client performs a non-interactive
authentication against another computer (say a server). On the server, I
would use of such context information, so I need both to be able to pass it
along and to retrieve it on the server..

For example, if a user maps a network drive, then on the server I'd like to
use the context information - and the process, from a user point of view,
should be transparent.

I have read about SSPI and custom authentication packages but as far I
understand that is only good when the client calls LsaLogonUser and sets my
custom authentication package id explicitly, hence no good.

Comments and ideas are welcome.
