Exposes a set of methods for integrating external services and processing provisioning transactions.
Providers implement IProvProvider to support low-level procedures. IProvProvider contains methods to activate and deactivate providers and to process, prepare, commit, and roll back transactions.
The type library for IProvProvider is in MPFProvider.dll. IProvProvider inherits from IDispatch.
When MPF SDK is installed, providers created in Microsoft Visual C++ and Visual Basic will contain a skeleton IProvProvider object; however, developers must still implement the methods. Developers writing providers in other platforms must implement the IProvProvider interface.
IProvProvider is instantiated only by provisioning engines; it is never called by providers.
