COMADMIN_E_AUTHENTICATIONLEVEL
COMADMIN_E_AUTHENTICATIONLEVEL is the failure HRESULT 0x80110413 (signed decimal -2146368493, unsigned decimal 2148598803). Its severity bit is 1, facility is 17 (FACILITY_ITF), and the facility-specific code field is 0x0413.
COM+ identity, role, and administration security: exact meaning of COMADMIN_E_AUTHENTICATIONLEVEL
COM+ could not apply the authentication level required for an administration update. A catalog update crosses a local or remote administration boundary whose authentication requirements cannot be satisfied.
AllStat records this condition as “Unable to set required authentication level for update request”.
Evidence to collect before repair
- The result investigation needs local or remote target and the exact COMAdmin method so the exact failing boundary remains reconstructable.
- preserve CoInitializeSecurity settings and proxy authentication blanket; it anchors the failure to the real administration object.
- Evidence for it should include effective DCOM machine policy and caller token, captured before a repair changes state.
- Collect authentication-related COM+/DCOM event records when diagnosing this result; without it the symbolic HRESULT is underdetermined.
Where the result occurs
This result concerns a concrete COM+ identity, role, credential, or call-authentication contract; successful interactive access does not prove that the COMAdmin or application identity can perform the operation. In the specific case of it, record whether the target is remote, the caller token, DCOM authentication settings, effective policy, and the authentication level requested.
Diagnostic sequence
- To isolate this result, reproduce with the same caller and remote path.
- compare negotiated authentication with target policy.
- At the boundary, set COM security before creating catalog interfaces.
- The next it diagnostic action is to apply the required proxy authentication settings consistently.
- To isolate it, reconnect and repeat the complete update rather than reusing the rejected proxy.
Retry and recovery
Use credentials and COM security settings that meet target policy, then reconnect and retry the complete update.
Practical administration scenario
Remote COMAdmin automation connects with settings below the server policy and cannot persist an application change.
Difference from nearby COMADMIN results
COMADMIN_E_USERPASSWDNOTVALID concerns application identity credentials, not the security level of the administration call.
