24Overview
25--------
26This sample implements a simple credential provider. A credential provider allows a 3rd
27party to provide an alternate way of logging on. For example, a fingerprint solution vendor
28would write a credential provider to interact with the user and send the appropriate
29credentials to the system for authentication. Questions should be sent to
30[email protected].
31
32This sample implements a simplified credential provider that is based on the password
33credential provider that ships with Windows Vista. When run, the credential provider
34should enumerate two tiles, one for the administrator and one for the guest account. Note
35that unless your machine is non-domain joined and you have enabled the guest account, it is
36likely that the guest account is disabled and you will receive an error if you try to use that
37tile to log on.

41How to run this sample
42--------------------------------
43Once you have built the project, copy samplecredentialprovider.dll to the System32 directory
44on a Vista machine and run Register.reg from an elevated command prompt. The credential
45should appear the next time a logon is invoked (such as when logging off or rebooting the machine).
46
47What this sample demonstrates
48-----------------------------
49This sample demonstrates simple password based log on and unlock behavior. It also shows how to construct
50a simple user tile and handle the user interaction with that tile.
51
52What this sample does not demonstrate
53-------------------------------------
54- other credential provider scenarios, like participating in credui or handling change password.
55- every possible field that you can put in your user tile
56- any network access prior to local authentication (the Pre-Logon Access Provider (PLAP) behavior)
57- an event based credential provider (like a smartcard or fingerprint based system)
58
59Parts of the sample
60-------------------
61common.h - sets up what a tile looks like
62CSampleCredential.h/CSampleCredential.cpp - implements ICredentialProviderCredential, which describes one tile
63CSampleProvider.h/CSampleProvider.cpp - implements ICredentialProvider, which is the main interface used by LogonUI
64 to talk to a credential provider.
65Dll.h/Dll.cpp - standard dll setup for a dll that implements COM objects
66helpers.h/helpers.cpp - useful functionality to deal with serializing credentials, UNICODE_STRING's, etc
