Write Your Own Windows Vista Credential Provider!
December 13, 2006
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.
