Credential providers are used to capture elevation credentials and run as first-class citizens of the logon process. Credential providers also do not have the ability to fully replace the logon user interface; rather they can specify what elements are displayed on the interface. Vista will ship with a password credential provider (which provides the same functionality as the normal Windows logon GINA today) and a smart-card credential |
