Posted September 11, 200717 yr Has anyone here tried to write a custom Authentication Package and Credential Provider on Vista? I'm trying to do this, but I've encountered a bug (or an undocumented feature) in the Credential Provider subsystem. I can successfully log into an interactive session, but it seems that the credential provider subsystem is trying to read my custom authentication package's profile buffer. I don't place any meaningful data in there, and the Authentication Package specs don't require me to. The credential provider subsystem randomly crashes depending on what kind of data the auth package returns. And, when it doesn't crash, a bubble appears in the task bar telling me that my user's account is about to expire. My auth package works just fine on XP. It only does this on Vista. If any Microsoft dev people could help me find a workaround, it'd be appreciated. -- Peter Rutenbar
