LsaLogonUserEx2, LsaLogonUser and LsaLogonUserEx   
Hi,

I'm currently developing my own Credential Provider and Authentication 
Package on Windows Vista.

I've succeeded to hook them up and I can trace which function of my 
Authentication Package is called when I try to log in with my Credential 
Provider.

For the moment, only LsaLogonUserEx2 is called. According to the MSDN 
documentation LsaLogonUserEx2, LsaLogonUser and LsaLogonUserEx perform 
the same but have different parameters.

What is the difference between these functions? How should I choose 
which one to implement?

Thank you for your help,
Yannick

Re: LsaLogonUserEx2, LsaLogonUser and LsaLogonUserEx   
I found the answer to my question:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa374731(VS.85).aspx

LsaApLogonUser 	
Called when the authentication package has been specified in a call to 
LsaLogonUser. This function authenticates a security principal's logon data.

LsaApLogonUserEx 	
Identical to LsaApLogonUser except that it returns the workstation name 
for audit purposes.
An authentication package can implement LsaApLogonUser, 
LsaApLogonUserEx, or LsaApLogonUserEx2. It does not need to implement 
them all.

LsaApLogonUserEx2
Identical to LsaApLogonUserEx except that it returns the security 
principal's primary and supplemental credentials. An authentication 
package can implement LsaApLogonUser, LsaApLogonUserEx, or 
LsaApLogonUserEx2. It does not need to implement them all.

The important thing for your case is that you are trying to implement
an AP specifically to be used by your CP. Even though a generic AP can
implement whatever it feels like it needs to (based on which set of
parameters will meet the requirements), an AP that will be used by a
CP has to implement LsaLogonUserEx2 because that is the interface the
CP is hard-wired to use.

Make sense?

Hi Dave,

It makes sense yes. However, if I declare only LsaApLogonUser in my AP 
it will be called by my CP. Any explanation for this?

Thanks a lot for your answers.
