Comments:
This exit gives you the opportunity to override the internal data value created during the execution of the application. data_ptr addresses the memory assigned to the internal data value. If the exit chooses to override this parameter, it must only modify up to data_size bytes starting at data_ptr, and must return IDP_EXIT_HANDLED. The request handler will subsequently perform default mapping for the original (IDP_EXIT_CONTINUE) or overridden (IDP_EXIT_HANDLED) internal data value.
The user exit program owns the exit_data field of the IDP_EXIT_INFO structure. You would typically use it to preserve context information between exit point invocations. You can use it when returning any of the IDP_EXIT_ return values.
