Hi,
I am working on a Windows form application (C#.Net 2.0) and have found
out that it needs to be able to do the following:
Have the application start in Administrative mode the first time it is run
after installation.
Make the administrator to alter the admin password.
Allow the administrator to create new users with or without admin access
After the first time it is run, require logon
Maintain its own list of username/passwords, not one associated with Windows.
I have never dealt with security except in a web environment where all the
username/password type information was stored on the server. Everything I can
think of to store username/password on the local system seems vulnerable
someone local breaking into it. Can anyone point in the right direction for
how to set something like this up?
Thanks!

What is your question about?
how to store the login/password or how to run it as admin the first
time?
Because first of all, you do not REALLY need to be an adminsitrator to
setup the users , heck you could even do this in the setup probably.
Regarding how to save the values, you can use a table in the DB or
even as simple as a XML text. you can encrypt the password and store
the encrupted data.
