aa6929adf39d3b1c4479a63d9537888fa83bcf65vboxsyncThis sample implements a simple credential provider. A credential provider allows a 3rd
aa6929adf39d3b1c4479a63d9537888fa83bcf65vboxsyncparty to provide an alternate way of logging on. For example, a fingerprint solution vendor
aa6929adf39d3b1c4479a63d9537888fa83bcf65vboxsyncwould write a credential provider to interact with the user and send the appropriate
aa6929adf39d3b1c4479a63d9537888fa83bcf65vboxsynccredentials to the system for authentication. Questions should be sent to
aa6929adf39d3b1c4479a63d9537888fa83bcf65vboxsynccredprov@microsoft.com.
aa6929adf39d3b1c4479a63d9537888fa83bcf65vboxsyncThis sample implements a simplified credential provider that is based on the password
aa6929adf39d3b1c4479a63d9537888fa83bcf65vboxsynccredential provider that ships with Windows Vista. When run, the credential provider
aa6929adf39d3b1c4479a63d9537888fa83bcf65vboxsyncshould enumerate two tiles, one for the administrator and one for the guest account. Note
aa6929adf39d3b1c4479a63d9537888fa83bcf65vboxsyncthat unless your machine is non-domain joined and you have enabled the guest account, it is
aa6929adf39d3b1c4479a63d9537888fa83bcf65vboxsynclikely that the guest account is disabled and you will receive an error if you try to use that
aa6929adf39d3b1c4479a63d9537888fa83bcf65vboxsynctile to log on.
aa6929adf39d3b1c4479a63d9537888fa83bcf65vboxsyncPlease also see Windows Vista Credential Provider Samples Overview.doc, included in this package
aa6929adf39d3b1c4479a63d9537888fa83bcf65vboxsyncHow to run this sample
aa6929adf39d3b1c4479a63d9537888fa83bcf65vboxsync--------------------------------
aa6929adf39d3b1c4479a63d9537888fa83bcf65vboxsyncOnce you have built the project, copy samplecredentialprovider.dll to the System32 directory
aa6929adf39d3b1c4479a63d9537888fa83bcf65vboxsyncon a Vista machine and run Register.reg from an elevated command prompt. The credential
aa6929adf39d3b1c4479a63d9537888fa83bcf65vboxsyncshould appear the next time a logon is invoked (such as when logging off or rebooting the machine).
aa6929adf39d3b1c4479a63d9537888fa83bcf65vboxsyncWhat this sample demonstrates
aa6929adf39d3b1c4479a63d9537888fa83bcf65vboxsync-----------------------------
aa6929adf39d3b1c4479a63d9537888fa83bcf65vboxsyncThis sample demonstrates simple password based log on and unlock behavior. It also shows how to construct
cdd0348e21eb564698908d33dcd883dd4f54f669vboxsynca simple user tile and handle the user interaction with that tile.
aa6929adf39d3b1c4479a63d9537888fa83bcf65vboxsyncWhat this sample does not demonstrate
aa6929adf39d3b1c4479a63d9537888fa83bcf65vboxsync-------------------------------------
aa6929adf39d3b1c4479a63d9537888fa83bcf65vboxsync- other credential provider scenarios, like participating in credui or handling change password.
aa6929adf39d3b1c4479a63d9537888fa83bcf65vboxsync- every possible field that you can put in your user tile
aa6929adf39d3b1c4479a63d9537888fa83bcf65vboxsync- any network access prior to local authentication (the Pre-Logon Access Provider (PLAP) behavior)
aa6929adf39d3b1c4479a63d9537888fa83bcf65vboxsync- an event based credential provider (like a smartcard or fingerprint based system)
aa6929adf39d3b1c4479a63d9537888fa83bcf65vboxsyncParts of the sample
aa6929adf39d3b1c4479a63d9537888fa83bcf65vboxsync-------------------
cdd0348e21eb564698908d33dcd883dd4f54f669vboxsynccommon.h - sets up what a tile looks like
aa6929adf39d3b1c4479a63d9537888fa83bcf65vboxsyncCSampleCredential.h/CSampleCredential.cpp - implements ICredentialProviderCredential, which describes one tile
aa6929adf39d3b1c4479a63d9537888fa83bcf65vboxsyncCSampleProvider.h/CSampleProvider.cpp - implements ICredentialProvider, which is the main interface used by LogonUI
aa6929adf39d3b1c4479a63d9537888fa83bcf65vboxsync to talk to a credential provider.
aa6929adf39d3b1c4479a63d9537888fa83bcf65vboxsyncDll.h/Dll.cpp - standard dll setup for a dll that implements COM objects
aa6929adf39d3b1c4479a63d9537888fa83bcf65vboxsynchelpers.h/helpers.cpp - useful functionality to deal with serializing credentials, UNICODE_STRING's, etc
