I’m happy to announce that I’ve had a second article published with MSDN Magazine.  This one explains how to implement a Credential Provider for Vista.  Credential Provider is the new interactive authentication plug-in model for Windows, replacing the deprecated GINA interface.  Yes, that’s correct, your GINA won’t work on Vista.

As I explain in the article, though, CredProvs are pretty easy to write, and offer more flexibility than the GINA interface did.

As always, I welcome reader feedback and questions.  However, I’m considering disabling blog comments, because it gets overloaded with spam.  If that happens, I can be reached via my corporate contact page.
