Thank you,
We have no intention of using a single logon to our application. We are
aiming at domain accounts, AD.
So far I can prompt the user to enter a user id, domain name and
password. The I validate these using LogonUser and then
I start our application using the user's information, the application is
started under the user's identity.... like runas will do.
This works fine, but now we have 2 clients, one that uses smart-cards
and the other one that uses a fingerprint reader to authenticate the users
at logon. Is there a standard API I can use? or will I have to write a
custom module for each client?
Thank you!
