Description

https://github.com/Microsoft/Windows-classic-samples/tree/master/Samples/Win7Samples/security/authentication/sampssp

In the above page, i found 2 issues

The sample ssp contains a make file that builds in Windows NT systems only and fails in a windows 7 machine, making this not usable under a windows SDK 7 sample

The readme file contains a help documentation on how to invoke after building it using a SOCKAUTH security.c file, howevere i could not find a reference to that in this github.
Can anyone please help

Research direction

Start in Samples/Win7Samples/security/authentication/sampssp, reading its README and makefile. Check the README's SOCKAUTH security.c reference against the repository and verify the reported makefile behavior with a Windows 7 SDK. Done means the project reference is corrected and the sample's build or its Windows 7 limitation is clearly addressed.
