Usage Notes
The logmech_name field specifies the name of the logon mechanism to be used to authenticate the connection. A name is ignored if it consists solely of spaces or binary zeroes. If required, additional data for the mechanism may be supplied using the logmech_data_ptr and logmech_data_len. If the specified mechanism is not supported, the request will be rejected.
