For the unreferenced com object, you'll need to do a regsvr32 on the f5fpapi.dll thats included in the SDK.

 

 

c:/> regsvr32 path_to_library\f5fpapi.dll

 

 

This will add the interfaces into the registery and you'll be able to view them in your object browser or include them in your projects.

 

 

As for the feasibility of your request though. I've looked a bit at the CheckSession command and I don't believe it does what you are wanting it to. I believe it is just a ping to keep a current session from timing out. I believe that if you load up an instance of the control into your application, you can only query the status of the existing control, not any other control loaded by other processes. I could be wrong about this but that's how it's looking to me.

 

 

I'm forwarding this request on to the firepass team to get more info. We'll keep you posted.
