Custom Credential Provider for Password Reset

  • Artikel

The credential provider for Password Reset is fairly simply and straight forward. Since I have joined the team, there is very little code change in that area. Recently, we decided to fix some minor known bug in the credential provider (CP) and I realized I don't know too much about how CP works.

So I  downloaded the samples in Windows SDK and played with it. After some time, I came up with the following.

Notice the extra tile at logon screen

... and after you click on the tile.
 

Feel free to download the source code and play with it. The zip file contains x86 and x64 release builds.

 P.S. You have to click into this post to see the attachment.

    i haven't looked into that maybe, the GetSerialization() in the sample is for local logon only this might have some useful information http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb776026%28VS.85%29.aspx

    This is really cool! I installed it on a W.2008 R2, and it runs perfectly! Congrats.

    What are you trying to accomplish? This is just an illustration based on the Windows SDK on how to develop a Credential Provider

    I have a question which you may know the answer two. I downloaded the Credential Provider Sample from MS and was able to unlock on a computer with no DOMAIN but it failed on a computer on a DOMAIN. Should domain be passed in any special way along with the username (DOMAINusername did not seem to work) - or do the whole sample needs to be rewritten in order to support domain logon? Thanks!

    I need a Credential Provider to open a web page that allows the user to reset their password. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you for response. I am trying to add a button of "Forgot your password" on my OS logon screen and clicking on this button will lead to another application. Is installation of FIM is mandatory if i want to integrate a custom credential provider?

    Can you point me to a link which provides the steps to create a custom credential provider, register it and show its tile on OS logon screen? Windows 8.1, Vista and Windows 7 OS are in my scope.

    Look at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/bb648647(v=vs.85).aspx
    There are much richer sample in the Windows SDK.

    hi anthony, is there a way I can modify the password reset program to use my own libraries instead of using FIM 2010?

    You can't modify the FIM Credential Provide to use your own library. You can definitely, however, to write your own Credential Provider to use your own libraries

    Hi Anthony,

    Thank you for sharing. I, like a couple of others on here, are interested in launching a 3rd party Password Management application and not FIM. Can you provide any assistance in this scenario? Would you be willing to consult on a solution?
