I'm working on this, however, I stuck on setting the first parameter
of AuthzInitializeRemoteResourceManager(). The most members of structure
AUTHZ_RPC_INIT_INFO_CLIENT are PWSTR, and I have no idea what kind of
string should be set to each member. Especially Endpoint and ServerSpn.

typedef struct _AUTHZ_RPC_INIT_INFO_CLIENT {
  USHORT version;
  PWSTR  ObjectUuid;
  PWSTR  ProtSeq;
  PWSTR  NetworkAddr;
  PWSTR  Endpoint;
  PWSTR  Options;
  PWSTR  ServerSpn;
} AUTHZ_RPC_INIT_INFO_CLIENT, *PAUTHZ_RPC_INIT_INFO_CLIENT;

Do you have any idea?
