Documentation for creating a Custom Credential Provider in Windows

Question

Where is the documentation on creating a custom Windows Credential Provider located? Everything I\'ve found so far points to the same article on how to make a custom crede

Answer 1

In the Windows SDK, there is a Credential Provider code example in the Samples\security folder. There is also documentation (in MHTML format) for the example, contained in the SDK files. In the latest Windows SDK, the Credential Provider example has been updated to be suitable for Windows 7, says the document.

Strangely, the documentation doesn't seem to be available online anywhere. It's just there in the SDK docs.

Please note that Microsoft Windows SDK is something that you need to separately install, even if you already have Visual Studio installed.
