Negotiate Security Support Provider (SSP) supports an extension SSP, Negoexts.dll. This extension
SSP is treated as an authentication protocol by the Windows operating system, and it supports SSPs
from Microsoft, including PKU2U. You can also develop or add other SSPs.

When devices are configured to accept authentication requests by using online IDs, Negoexts.dll
calls the PKU2U SSP on the computer that is used to log on. The PKU2U SSP obtains a local
certificate and exchanges the policy between the peer computers. When validated on the peer computer,
the certificate within the metadata is sent to the logon peer for validation. It associates the
user's certificate to a security token, and then the logon process completes.
