TnFOX: FX::FXACLEntity::isLoginPassword

bool FX::FXACLEntity::isLoginPassword ( const FXchar * password ) const

Returns true if the specified password is the password to the entity's account. You should allocate the password in the secure heap. Due to implementation constraints on Windows, SSPI is used which requires the local machine to permit network logons. On POSIX, PAM is asked to perform the authentication - this requires root privileges to succeed (an exception is thrown if the calling process does not have them)

Note:: When successful, this entity becomes authenticated and can perform extra roles eg; on NT you can set it as owner of anything
