Credentials dialog in a network provider   

Hi,
1. In NPAddConnection3, do I need to create and display a credentials dialog 
for the user? Or returning WN_BAD_PASSWORD is enough?
2. If indeed I am the one that has to create the dialog, is there any 
default credentials dialog that I can use?

Thank you very much!

RE: Credentials dialog in a network provider   

Hi,

MSDN suggests that you never return codes like ERROR_LOGON_FAILURE, 
WN_BAD_PASSWORD or WN_ACCESS_DENIED in NPAddConnection3. Instead, it says 
that this function should "continue asking the user for valid credentials 
until the user either supplies them or presses a cancel button." .
In order to display a credential dialog, you can use the function 
CredUIPromptForCredentials  defined in Credui.dll .
