credential-providers

I want to implement a self reset password functionality for Windows 7 users. When the Logon screen prompts the domain users should be presented with a forgot password button which will open the password reset wizard. So the problem is how to add a command button to the standard windows logon screen? I know about GINA in Windows XP as mentioned here: Adding command button to Windows Logon screen But this topic is 3 years old, and with Vista / Windows 7 Microsoft came up with "Microsoft Windows Credential Provider". ixe013 Those button are called "Tiles", and they are implemented in a Credential

Recently, I have been working on a CredentialProvider in order to unlock automatically (the trigger can be any event, so let’s say the end of a timer) a Windows Vista (or more recent version) user session. For that I read some useful articles on the subject, the change between GINA and this new architecture. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/cc163489.aspx . I think, like everyone in the process of creating a custom CredentialProvider, I didn’t start from scratch but from the sample code provided by Microsoft. And then I tried to change the behaviour (things like logging) in the

I am trying to write a custom Windows credential provider. I have downloaded the V2 credential provider sample and I am able build, register and use it. For testing I have set up a hyper-v Windows 8.1 instance and joined a windows test domain. However, the custom credential provider is only displayed on user tiles, not on the 'Other user' tile. The documentation ( Credential Provider Framework Changes in Windows 8.docx ) provides a small snippet: // Gets the SID of the user corresponding to the credential. HRESULT CSampleCredential::GetUserSid(__deref_out PWSTR *ppszSid) { *ppszSid = nullptr;

I am developing a custom credential provider for Windows 7. My goal is to automatically log-in the user when a certain hardware event occurs. I have read all the MSDN articles related to this, and implemented a simple credential provider that interfaces with the external device to get user name and password and passes it to the WinLogon. But, I still am stuck with the last piece of the puzzle. Currently the user still has to press the logon button to log himself in. What is the best way to do that automatically? Currently I'm working on the same and I think that a) in function Provider:

So, here is the scenario. I am developing a logon system in windows 7. I have created a Credential Provider, containing one Credential. The Credential has three input fields, username, password, and PIN. From what I have learned the documentation (CMIIW) is that when we fill in the fields and click logon, WINLOGON will retrieve the username and password, and send it to LSA by calling LSALogonUser() to authenticate. LSA then will try negotiate with Authentication Package KERBEROS (for remote logon) or MSV1_0 (for local logon). Assume only the local scenario for now, the username and password

Where is the documentation on creating a custom Windows Credential Provider located? Everything I've found so far points to the same article on how to make a custom credential provider ( MSDN Magazine: "Create Custom Login Experiences With Credential Providers For Windows Vista" ), but neither that article nor anything else I can find provides documentation on how things actually work. At best there are some code samples, but those don't explain the full mechanics of credential providers or usefully show how to roll your own. In an article on Windows Vista Smart Card Infrastructure, there is a

Has anyone successfully created a custom Windows Credential Provider in C#? The samples that are in the Windows SDK are all in C++. Some initial searching I have done indicates it may be possible but cannot seem to find anyone who has confirmed it. +1 for pgina . As Cody says, there is no managed API you can use to make a Credential Provider, and if you want to go the pInvoke route it will probably take more of your time troubleshooting pInvoke issues than figuring out the Credential Provider. Where pGina can help you is that it has a nice Plugin architecture and the Plugins are written in
