<para>Given a pointer to a passwd entry of a user and a cleartext password,

returns a HANDLE to an impersonation token for this user which can be used

in a subsequent call to <function>cygwin_set_impersonation_token</function>

to impersonate that user. This function can only be called from a process

which has the required NT user rights to perform a logon.</para>
