AIMCC Technote 4

URLs for AIM services

Overview

Calling IAccSession::RequestService with one of these URLs will result in an OnRequestServiceResult callback with a new URL with an authentication token. Invoking the new URL will grant you authenticated access to the specified site. For an example, see Technote 12.
